This work focuses on the elaboration and characterization of conducting polymer composites based on polyaniline (PANI) dispersed in an epoxy resin (ER) matrix and cured using an anhydride without a ...

Researchers have developed an epoxy resin that can be repaired and recycled, in addition to being flame-retardant and mechanically strong. Potential applications range from coating for wooden flooring ...

In the past few decades, thermosetting (TS) blends have attracted more attention due to their various applications in adhesives, filler-reinforced composite materials, automotive and aircraft ...

Epoxy resins are resilient and functional polymers. For instance, they are utilized to create parts for wind turbines, trains, vehicles, and airplanes when combined with glass or carbon fibers. These ...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Chemistry Division and Technology Transfer Office announce today the signing of licensing agreements for the commercial manufacturing of an ...

Naturally, the importance of high performance and cost-effectiveness cannot be overstated when designing structural components for aerospace, marine, civil, automotive, and other such industries.

The matrix binds the fiber reinforcement, transfers loads between fibers, gives the composite component its net shape and determines its surface quality. A composite matrix may be a polymer, ceramic, ...

Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...
