The Natural Materials and Polymer Processing Group, is headed by Margaret C. Burns Chair in Engineering and Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Caroline Schauer. The NMPP group works ...

Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now. Resins and other materials that react under light to form ...

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 ...

Polymer extrusion transforms materials, optimizing properties through real-time Raman spectroscopy and PCA for enhanced ...

Composites are materials composed of at least two distinct phases (for example carbon fibers in a polymer matrix) in a defined geometric relationship, which are constructed in such a manner that the ...

Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...
