Currently, composites are widely in use in various parts of the modern world such as constructions, nonwovens, textiles, and automobile industry. The interface in composites plays a fundamental role ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

We live surrounded by polymers and today, rather than come up with new polymers, there is a tendency to modify them in order to obtain new applications. Carbon nanotubes have excellent mechanical ...

A biocompatible polymer invented in the engineering labs of the University of Arizona is being commercialized as a way to control dust in arid environments and places such as mines, construction sites ...

Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...
