Researchers have developed a family of highly stretchable and UV curable (SUV) elastomers that can be stretched by up to 1100%, and are suitable for UV curing based 3-D printing techniques. Using high ...

A research team led by Professors Stefan Seelecke and Paul Motzki from Saarland University is using a highly versatile film not much thicker than household cling film to impart new capabilities to ...

The nuclear power industry uses elastomers, or rubber, for many sealing applications such as airlock doors, hatches, pool gates, drywell heads, vibration dampening and others. Made from long-chain ...

High-dielectric-constant elastomers possess outstanding softness and stretchability. They allow a fast response and have a high reliability, and thus have been widely applied to wearable electronics.

Elastic polymers, or elastomers, are desirable materials because they can repeatedly de-form and re-form. But this softness often comes at the expense of mechanical strength, which the materials need ...

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio—For Eagle Elastomer Inc., it's all about value. The custom mixer and extruder works exclusively with fluoroelastomers and some perfluoroelastomers, because it's a higher-quality ...

Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi-gigahertz range), fine pin densities (below 0.4-mm pitch), and high pin counts (over 2000). When assembled onto a printed-circuit board (PCB), ...
