Boron Nitride Composites: 3D Printing Heat Flow via Alignment
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview Researchers have demonstrated that masked stereolithography (MSLA) 3D printing can tune heat flow in boron nitride composites by controlling platelet size and layer thickness. By reducing layer thickness to 1... -
Nano-silver sintering on cyanate ester: Reliability and specs
Research Square (preprint, Europe PMC) Overview Low-temperature nano-silver sintering enables the direct bonding of power chips to fiber-reinforced cyanate ester composite substrates. The joints achieved a maximum shear strength of 11.5 ... -
CO2-Derived Vitrimer Epoxy: Tensile Strength and Recycling Specs
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview A CO2-derived vitrimer matrix for carbon fiber composites achieves tensile strength (495 MPa) comparable to conventional epoxy (514 MPa) while enabling material recyclability. Although flexural strength and t... -
Teijin Solfiga PPS: PFAS-Free Sliding Grades and Specifications
CompositesWorld USA Overview Teijin Ltd. has introduced carbon fiber- and aramid fiber-reinforced grades of its Solfiga polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) compounds that eliminate intentionally added PFAS. These materials target wear and fricti... -
Sand-Polymer Composites: Nanomodifier Effects on Recycled PP/LDPE
BIOENGINEER.ORG Overview Researchers have demonstrated that ultra-low doses of nanoparticles (0.01 to 0.1 wt%) can reorganize the internal structure of recycled plastic and sand composites to improve performance. By utilizing specific na... -
Dense Polymer Membranes: Interconnected Nanopore Networks vs Solution–Diffusion Model
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview Researchers led by Menachem Elimelech at Rice University have found that dense polymer membranes contain interconnected subnanometer pore networks rather than being nonporous solids. This discovery challenges... -
Polystyrene Nanoparticles: CO2 Capture Boost in PEBAX Membranes
BIOENGINEER.ORG South Korea Overview Researchers at Yonsei University have developed a mixed-matrix membrane using sulfonated polystyrene nanoparticles in a PEBAX copolymer to simultaneously increase CO2 permeability and CO2/N2 selectivi... -
PVA-Graphene-Aloe Vera Films: Self-Healing Specs and Trade-offs
