Fan Zhang, Christopher Tuck, Richard Hague, Yinfeng He, Ehab Saleh, You Li, Craig Sturgess and Ricky Wildman present the first continuous fabrication of inkjet-printed polyimide films in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. The films were then used as insulating...
Submit a paper to a Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Polymer Science on Structure, Properties and Applications of Thermoelectric Polymers
Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada and Washington State University Tri-Cities in the US manipulated the structure of CNTs by introducing nitrogen between carbon atoms in CNTs, and succeeded in improving the charge storage capacity of CNT/polymer nanocomposites.
Nano-actuated magneto-mechanical devices can change shape on command using a remote magnetic external stimulus, with a control at the subnanometer scale.
This video shows that it is possible to ‘mechanically sinter’ liquid metal nanoparticles to form soft, electrically conductive traces by hand.
Chen et al. have developed haptic memory arrays which can detect and retain external pressure distribution.
Silicone elastomers are favourable materials for dielectric elastomer transducers. Read more about the current state-of-the-art.
Further development of OLED technology leads in commercial solutions.
Hu’s group at SCUT investigate alkyne-based multicomponent polymerization to afford polymers from three or more kinds of monomers in a one-pot procedure.
Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) has recently emerged as one of the most promising two-dimensional semiconductors. Impressive field-effect transistors, integrated circuits, phototransistors and sensors based on single and multilayers exfoliated from natural MoS2 have been...
