Stretchy ferroelectrics: a) A new ferroelectric material combines elasticity with relatively high crystallinity. b) The unstrained material. c) The elastic ferroelectric under 70% strain. (Courtesy: ...
Chinese researchers have developed a kind of highly-elastic ferroelectric material, offering broad prospect for the material to be applied in intelligent wearables, article in Science revealed.
Dual cross-linked polymer design enables soft artificial muscles with record work density and strain
A dual cross-linked magnetic polymer solves the fundamental trade-off limiting soft artificial muscles, achieving ...
Self-healing polymers are extremely sought after by scientists, as they have many useful—not to mention lucrative—applications. Back in 2009, we reported a polyurethane-based polymeric material that ...
BOSTON—Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed an elastomer that is stiff and tough and can resist tearing under repeated ...
When polymers are subjected to shear in processing operations, the long chain of molecules present in them become distorted. The molecules tend to get straightened out (oriented) because of such ...
