In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...

Peak Nano uses nanolayer tech to slash polymer film development time from years to weeks for multiple industries ...

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...

S/O and vinyl isomerization enables ultrafast cationic ring-opening polymerization toward CO 2-derived polythioester with migrated in-chain C=C substituents The ring-opening polymerization of ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.
