Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) are the building blocks of organic circuitry, and research in this field is still in its infancy, but rapidly expanding. Development is taking place in several ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...

ORNL has pioneered molten salt research since the 1960s, when its Molten Salt Reactor Experiment showed that molten salt ...

A superionic polymer developed by US scientists could potentially help overcome of the biggest ...

A team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has built a polymer electrolyte that moves lithium ions through solid ...

(Nanowerk News) Just as a chameleon changes its color to blend in with its environment, Duke University engineers have demonstrated for the first time that they can alter the texture of plastics on ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a method to convert a commonly discarded ...
