However, above a certain nanotube content, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite deteriorate, so it is important to know how different concentrations of nanotubes affect the properties of ...

b) The unstrained material. c) The elastic ferroelectric under 70% strain. (Courtesy: NIMTE) Although polymers are usually flexible, polymer-based ferroelectric materials tend to be rigid. Adding a ...

Their new insights make it possible to synthesize a material with predetermined properties, such as elasticity or hardness. Polypropylene is so ubiquitous one might call it the king of plastics. In ...

Its elongation and tension set characteristics offer elasticity that's unlike other polyolefin polymers." The new Vistamaxx grades, VM-2125 and VM-2120, are being introduced at Chinaplas 2005 in ...

(Nanowerk News) All polymers have a distinctive degree of elasticity — how much they will stretch when a force is applied. However, for the past 100 years, polymer scientists have been stymied in ...

Scientists have unravelled the shape of the protein that gives human tissues their elastic properties in what could lead to the development of new synthetic elastic polymers. Scientists have ...
