The degradation rates of the polymers used in many medical devices are a function of both morphology and time. In the following exchange, Dennis Jamiolkowski, Distinguished Research Fellow at Ethicon ...

Polymers are an integral part of many industries and are used in conjunction with other materials and components to make a vast array of the world’s products. There are also many different types of ...

Polymer nanocomposites are advanced materials with a polymer matrix reinforced with nanoscale fillers or additives. These fillers, typically nanoparticles, have at least one dimension less than 100 ...

Achieving this level of reliability requires more than just heavy machinery; it demands a scientific approach to polymer chemistry and a disciplined manufacturing process.The Foundation of Batch ...

Engineers have flipped the picture of the standard polymer insulator, by fabricating thin polymer films that conduct heat -- an ability normally associated with metals. In experiments, they found the ...
