Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative energy storage system ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global liquid crystal polymers (LCP) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 6% during the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest market research. In ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

Liquid-crystal polymers are a unique class of wholly aromatic polyester poly mers that provide previously unavailable high-performance properties. Particularly outstanding is their heat-deflection ...

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

A computational approach to understanding how ions in polymer liquids interact could unlock better methods of creating lithium polymer batteries and purifying water. Issei Nakamura, assistant ...

Four more companies have joined an industry task force that the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has convened to improve the sustainability of a ubiquitous, $125 billion class of ‘forgotten’ polymers.

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...
