Stevens’ associate professor, Pinar Akcora, has been named the lead of the National Science Foundation (NSF) supported study “Revealing Structure-Ionic Transport Relationship in Polymer-Ionic Liquid ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from California and South Korea have discovered a way to use a water-soluble polymer as a new, recyclable material for 3D printing. This polymer can also be combined with ...

When the polar vortex gripped Chicago in early 2024, the city’s electric vehicle charging ...

Four more companies have joined an industry task force that the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has convened to improve the sustainability of a ubiquitous, $125 billion class of ‘forgotten’ polymers.

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

A computational approach to understanding how ions in polymer liquids interact could unlock better methods of creating lithium polymer batteries and purifying water. Issei Nakamura, assistant ...

The R/flex 3000 family of liquid-crystalline polymer-based circuit materials now includes R/flex 3850 double-clad laminate. It offers a low dielectric constant (Dk = 2.9) for controlled impedance ...

Electric vehicles have a cold weather problem, and drivers in places like Minnesota or Alberta feel it every winter when ...
