In line with its “Michelin in Motion 2030” strategy, the Group is leveraging its know-how and expertise to expand into new ...

One of the first applications where ATSP polymer is being considered is for a NASA-funded project involving rollable or foldable composites for deployable structures. In order to participate, late ...

Chemists discovered a new way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, they could increase the materials' resistance to tearing ...

Auburn University faculty are part of an interdisciplinary research team that received a multimillion-dollar grant from the National Science Foundation’s Research Infrastructure Improvement Program to ...

Conducting polymers have emerged as a pivotal class of materials for advanced optoelectronic applications owing to their tunable molecular structure, ...

It was at the heart of the Creps (‘Sports Expertise and Performance Resource Centre’) in Vichy, France, that the French Society of Plastics Engineers, SFIP, chose this year to hold its event dedicated ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power electric vehicles and electronics. With the prevalence of these set to increase, efforts have been directed towards improving the performance and longevity of LIBs.
