• We have developed a new polymer-blending technique with only a high-shear flow field without any additives. • We have enabled nano-scale dispersion of immiscible polymers by blending with high-shear ...

The Natural Materials and Polymer Processing Group, is headed by Margaret C. Burns Chair in Engineering and Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Caroline Schauer. The NMPP group works ...

UD tapes must be fully impregnated since there is no carrier to support the material in the transverse direction such as the paper used with thermoset prepregs. Most UD tapes are supplied in ...

Introduction to polymer processing -- I: Structure and properties of polymers -- The nature of polymers and plastics -- Morphology and structuring of polymers -- Surface properties -- II: Engineering ...

Well-established regulations have been used worldwide to certify the mechanical characteristics of advanced materials like polymer nanocomposites across different industries. To establish a ...

Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...
