A study entitled "Chelation Crosslinking of Biodegradable Elastomers," highlights the development of a framework that mixes different metals with a single polymer. Designed by engineers at Cornell, ...

LONDON—The Rubber in Engineering Group of the IoM3 will run a webinar March 19 on elastomer use in sustainable energy generation. Led by Julien Ramier and Alan Bickley, the afternoon technical ...

Engineers at MIT have found a way to get sub-mm resolution and deep penetration from a stick-on ultrasound patch that can be worn for at least two days and peels off at the end of monitoring without ...

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of smart materials composed of a non-magnetic polymeric matrix embedded with ferromagnetic particles, such as carbonyl iron. The mechanical properties ...

Strain-induced crystallization can strengthen, toughen, and facilitate an elastocaloric effect in elastomers. The resulting crystallinity can be induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers ...

A Lancashire rubber manufacturer has acquired a Cheshire counterpart in a seven-figure deal. Dexine Leyland Rubber Technology has purchased Lymm-based Elastomer Engineering as part of a strategic ...

Superhydrophobic materials offer a strategy for developing marine anti-corrosion materials due to their low solid-liquid contact area and low surface energy. However, existing superhydrophobic ...

Biodegradable polymers have significant potential in various fields of bioengineering, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and in vivo sensing 1,2. Because many biomedical devices are implanted ...

WARRINGTON, England—Elastomer Engineering Ltd. is relocating from its base in Lymm, in the Warrington borough in Northwest England, to Leyland, about two hours north. The move follows the engineering ...
