There is already a component of wood that is transparent: cellulose. However, two other components in wood are not, which are ...

The UMass Amherst-led team challenges the conventional wisdom that perfect fillers are better for making thermally conductive polymersAMHERST, Mass. — ...

Can you imagine a smartphone with a wooden touchscreen? Or a house with wooden windows? Probably not—unless you've heard of ...

eco-friendly alternative for plastic. Researchers have created proof-of-concept transparent woods using almost entirely natural materials, and have explored making them electrically conductive ...

The hydrogels used in the research are made from a synthetic plastic polymer that is nontoxic ... a sponge that contains a lot of water and the conductive material, which are the nanocarbon ...

The objective of this Ph.D. dissertation is to work towards eliminating weak interlayer adhesion in vertical prints to reach injection molded strengths, evaluating effect of crystallinity on ...

Plastic components are critical in the electronics sector. Because they are non-conductive, they provide insulation and connectors that safely allow management of electric currents in devices.

Simtec, which works strictly in LSR and HCR and LSR overmolds onto plastics, does not do any standalone plastic components ...
