We describe a novel strategy for reinforcing an epoxy resin using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in which polybenzimidazole (PBI) was used as the glue to enable effective adhesion between the epoxy matrix ...

Researchers have developed an epoxy resin that can be repaired and recycled, in addition to being flame-retardant and mechanically strong. Potential applications range from coating for wooden flooring ...

In the past few decades, thermosetting (TS) blends have attracted more attention due to their various applications in adhesives, filler-reinforced composite materials, automotive and aircraft ...

A wave of peer-reviewed research now shows that resins derived from plants and wood can match or exceed the mechanical ...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Chemistry Division and Technology Transfer Office announce today the signing of licensing agreements for the commercial manufacturing of an ...

Naturally, the importance of high performance and cost-effectiveness cannot be overstated when designing structural components for aerospace, marine, civil, automotive, and other such industries.

Polymer Resources works closely with customers to understand their material needs and industry requirements. The company also ensures that the product is optimized for its specific application, ...

Lignin biopolymer is found in all plants, typically comprising 10-25% of their mass. Every year, more than 70 million tons of lignin are burned as a low-value heat source. Spero Renewables aims to ...

For much the same reason LCD televisions offer eye-popping performance, a thermomagnetic processing method can advance the performance of polymers. For much the same reason LCD televisions offer ...
