The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

In the world of metals, it has long been considered common knowledge that achieving both strength and ductility (the ability to stretch without breaking) at the same time is nearly impossible. When a ...

Strength, ductility and toughness are three very important, closely related material properties. The yield and ultimate strengths tell us how much stress a material can withstand, and are often used ...

Scientists at Rice University and the University of Houston have created a powerful new material by guiding bacteria to grow cellulose in aligned patterns, resulting in sheets with the strength of ...

ProTough+™ is an additive that enhances the strength of composite materials by improving their mechanical properties to achieve component lightweighting, which is key in manufacturing and delivery of ...

(a) The proportion of global production for SS main grade. (b) The price fluctuations of Ni in the past 2 decades. More than 70% of the world's supply of nickel is used to make stainless steel, a cost ...

In a groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, researchers Eva Pasquier and Jost Ruwoldt from RISE PFI AS in Norway have demonstrated that Kraft lignin can ...
