Biobased polymers and elastomers derived from terpene monomers represent an emerging frontier in sustainable materials science. Terpenes, abundant natural hydrocarbons extracted from plant sources, ...

Researchers have developed the first 3D-printable 'bottlebrush' elastomer. The new material results in printed objects that have unusual softness and elasticity -- mechanical properties that closely ...

PITTSBURGH—DestinHaus Capital, a private equity firm based in San Ramon, Calif., hinted at a name change for Elite Elastomers Inc. when it purchased the niche custom mixing firm in Ripley, Miss., in ...

Elastomers, or elastic polymers, materials with high elasticity, are widely used for applications in industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, and oil and gas. The degree of elasticity in these ...

A new technical report titled “Polymer semiconductor blends with remarkably stable semiconducting performance under large and ...

Greene Tweed, which has operated for 160 years as a specialist in engineered polymers, focuses on high-performance materials for analytical and life sciences applications. The company designs and ...

Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) and ExxonMobil Chemical will construct an elastomers facility at the Al-Jubail Petrochemical Company (Kemya) manufacturing complex in Saudi Araba. Kemya is a 50-50 ...

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio—As drug delivery systems evolve, the geometry and composition of the elastomers—and the operating and storage requirements for the medicine—are becoming more complex. David ...

The study reveals a self-healing elastomer with high photoluminescence, integrating mechanical strength and optical ...

Scientists from Japan managed to develop an elastomer film with tunable elasticity using a two-step thermal and photo-induced cross-linking process that allowed for stiffness control based on the time ...

Elastic polymers, or 'elastomers,' have various applications, including in car tires and shock absorbers, and their properties are governed by the density of cross-linked polymer chains. However, ...
