As anyone who extrudes plastic noodles knows, the glass transition temperature of a material is a bit misleading; polymers gradually transition between a glass and a liquid across a range of ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...

Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...

Very high glass transition temperatures (T g) in epoxy resin formulations are enabled by dianhydride curing agents. One question would be how high, particularly when compared with other more ...

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