International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) has succeeded in synthesizing nanomaterials doped polymer nanowires by a pulsed laser irradiation. The polymer nanowires grew perpendicular to the surface of a source film that included the nanomaterials and dye molecules as a photoabsorber. The technique is one of the solutions for fabricating of molecular devices … [Read more...]
Two Component Curing Epoxy Adhesive for Structural Bonding
Master Bond Polymer System EP31 is a two component room temperature curing epoxy for high performance structural bonding applications featuring lap shear strengths exceeding 4600 psi. EP31 also has a high peel strength exceeding 40 pli. The service temperature range of the EP31 is -60 to +250°F. It combines low shrinkage upon cure along with excellent resistance to many … [Read more...]
Engineers Create Polymer Light-Emitting Stretchable Devices
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have demonstrated an intrinsically stretchable polymer light-emitting device. They developed a simple process to fabricate the transparent devices using single-walled carbon nanotube polymer composite electrodes. The interpenetrating networks of nanotubes and the polymer matrix in the surface layer … [Read more...]
