and which are held in place by the crosslinked polymer matrix. In essence, a molecular memory is imprinted on the polymer, which is capable of selectively binding the target. Thus, MIPs possess ...

These include synthetic materials — in which a 'soft' polymer matrix is reinforced with 'hard' fillers such as exfoliated sheets of clay, graphite flakes or carbon nanotubes (CNTs ...

By trapping silver nanoparticles within a polymer matrix, researchers can manipulate particle size and, consequently, the color emitted under UV light. Larger polymer nets yield silver ...

The U.S. aircraft will be headed to Europe later in 2025 to, among other things, participate in Bristow, Avinor and the CAA’s plans that will set the foundation for scaling zero- and low-emission ...

Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of polymer matrix composites studies a range of NDE techniques and using these techniques in a range of application areas. Part one offers an overview of a range of ...

When combined, they create a material with properties greater than the sum of its parts. Examples include polymer, ceramic, and metal matrix composites. Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are a subset ...

The EnviraBar product range, which consists of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres, has been manufactured at GFRP Tech’s new state-of-the-art facility in Linbro Park, Johannesburg. It aims to ...
