An amorphous polymer demonstrates high performance without the disadvantages associated with semicrystalline materials and imidized thermosets. Inventing a polymer isn’t a feat accomplished overnight.

A method for measuring the size and size probability distribution of free volume regions in polymeric materials using ultrafast infrared (IR) polarization-selective pump–probe experiments is presented ...

Raman imaging and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate acetaminophen solid dispersions prepared by hot melt extrusion (HME). This experiment confirmed that a high screw speed ...

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and ...

Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...

Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...

Imidized polymers, once thought too exotic for all but aerospace components, now serve in more down-to-earth applications thanks to optimized formulations and broader processing options. Designers of ...
