Bottoms up: Better organic semiconductors for printable electronics
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Seoul National University (SNU) have learned how to tweak a new class of polymer-based semiconductors to better control the location and alignment of the components of the blend. view more (2008-09-05)
Displays for the pants pocket
Much to the disappointment of many users of computer and portable electronic information device, flexible screens still cannot be found in retail stores. The reasons are mainly of technical and chemical nature, as Dr. Armin Wedel from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP explains: "Many developers of displays which you... view more...

Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. view more (2009-02-17)
Innovative acoustic guitar designed at Loughborough
Unlike traditional wooden acoustic guitars, the primary sound-generating components of this new instrument are constructed from plastics. Designer Owain Pedgley, a former PhD student at Loughborough who worked on the guitar in collaboration with leading English luthier Rob Armstrong, said, "This new instrument pushes forward the boundaries of... view more...

Designer gradients speed surface science experiments
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated an elegantly simple technique for synthesizing a wide variety of complex surfaces that vary in a controlled fashion across a test strip. view more (2006-06-09)
Icy Exposure Creates Armored Polymer High Tech Foams
Chemists and engineers at the University of Warwick have found that exposing particular mixtures of polymer particles and other materials to sudden freeze-drying can create a high-tech armored foam that could be used for a number of purposes, including a new range of low power room temperature gas sensors. view more (2009-07-29)
MIT creates tiny backpacks for cells
MIT engineers have outfitted cells with tiny "backpacks" that could allow them to deliver chemotherapy agents, diagnose tumors or become building blocks for tissue engineering. view more (2008-11-06)
Pitt researchers see electron waves in motion for first time
Both the ancient art of stained glass and the cutting-edge field of plasmonics rely on the oscillation of electrons in nanosized metal particles. When light shines on such particles, it excites the electromagnetic fields on the metal's surface, known as "surface plasmons," and causes its electrons to oscillate in waves-producing the rich... view more...

U-M research: New plastic is strong as steel, transparent
By mimicking a brick-and-mortar molecular structure found in seashells, University of Michigan researchers created a composite plastic that's as strong as steel but lighter and transparent. view more (2007-10-05)
Virginia Tech researcher reports nano-particle dispersion technique improves polymers
There is a lot of excitement about incorporating nano particles into polymers because of the ability to improve various properties with only a small percent of the particles. view more (2005-08-30)
Stable polymer nanotubes may have a biotech future
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created polymer nanotubes that are unusually long (about 1 centimeter) as well as stable enough to maintain their shape indefinitely. view more (2006-02-03)
Self-repairing materials
Will the day come when cracks in buildings close up without external help and before they get to the stage where they cause damage to the component? view more (2008-04-18)
Better composites through right shape of particles
The shape of the small clay particles in polymer-clay composite materials can determine the stiffness, strength and oxygen permeability of the material. The size of the particles determines the sheen and transparency. These are conclusions from the PhD research project of Martin van Es. He will receive his degree at TU Delft on 12 November.... view more... (2001-11-08)
Accidental discovery has potential for new applications in packaging
A recent discovery at Case Western Reserve University may help keep food and drugs safer and fresher longer and electronic equipment dryer and more secure than ever before - all at a lower cost. view more (2009-02-09)
Polarization holographic device using photoreactive polymer liquid crystals
Photo-control of molecular orientation of polymer materials is of great interest for the development of highly functionalized holographic optical devices. view more (2005-10-19)
Varnish measures pressure and vibrations
Despite the use of computer simulation, wind tunnel testing is still required to measure pressure changes and airflow speeds on the surfaces of new aircraft and automobile prototypes. Such testing is now done less with smoke visualization and threads but more frequently with high-tech sensors which have the least influence on air flows. Film... view more... (2003-02-20)
Biodegradable microspheres deliver time release vaccines, stimulate different immune response
A new vaccine delivery system using microspheres of a biodegradable polymer may not only reduce the need for booster shots in some cases, but also appears to stimulate an immune response that traditional vaccines do not. view more (2007-03-01)
Polymer electric storage, flexible and adaptable
The proliferation of solar, wind and even tidal electric generation and the rapid emergence of hybrid electric automobiles demands flexible and reliable methods of high-capacity electrical storage. Now a team of Penn State materials scientists is developing ferroelectric polymer-based capacitors that can deliver power more rapidly and are much... view more... (2008-08-20)
Soft materials buckle up for measurement
Buckling under pressure can be a good thing, say materials scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-06-28)
New paper reveals nanoscale details of photolithography process
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first direct measurements of the infinitesimal expansion and collapse of thin polymer films used in the manufacture of advanced semiconductor devices. view more (2007-12-13)
