Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now. Researchers have demonstrated a novel light-based atomic force ...
Researchers at Tomsk Polytechnic University have proposed a universal laser processing technology that can create two materials fundamentally different in terms of functions from a single sample – a ...
The Natural Materials and Polymer Processing Group, is headed by Margaret C. Burns Chair in Engineering and Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Caroline Schauer. The NMPP group works ...
Polymers are viscoelastic fluids that are either elastic or viscous, depending on how fast they flow or deformation in the process. The viscoelastic phenomenon, as shown in Figure 1, can be easily ...
Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...
Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now. Resins and other materials that react under light to form ...
