Polymer precipitation is a crucial process in chemical engineering and is widely applicable to many industries including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment. In many industries, ...

Despite the versatility of fluoropolymers in demanding, high-performance applications under harsh environments, many of them have been classified as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and are ...

The Natural Materials and Polymer Processing Group, is headed by Margaret C. Burns Chair in Engineering and Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Caroline Schauer. The NMPP group works ...

Thermally conductive polymer composites consist of fillers oriented in certain directions that form pathways for heat flow. However, conventional methods to control the orientation of these fillers ...

Introduction to polymer processing -- I: Structure and properties of polymers -- The nature of polymers and plastics -- Morphology and structuring of polymers -- Surface properties -- II: Engineering ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...

Owing to their lightweight nature and flexibility, thermally conductive polymer composites are applied between a heat source and a sink in electronics to dissipate the generated heat to the ...
