SABIC has developed resin manufacturing techniques using nanotechnology to efficiently produce more uniform polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam, resulting in higher performance characteristics in ...

FreeFoam is a new family of photopolymer resins containing heat-activated foaming agents that are 3D printed with Digital Light Processing (DLP). After printing, FreeFoam parts are briefly put into an ...

Graphene is known as a 2D material. While its inherent structure and electronic properties are 2D (i.e. electrons can only travel in 2 dimensions), graphene can also be made into 3D structures.

There are two main processes for thermoset PUs. Many PUs, particularly the foamed products, utilise a one step (one shot) process; a two stage process based on the pre-polymer system, is used in the ...

"If you build it, they will come” may be a Hollywood movie line, but it also describes the push strategy that is sometimes employed in the composites industry — introduce a compelling innovation with ...

A few of my fellow CNET mattress experts and I got a behind-the-scenes look at a mattress factory's secret foam-pouring process, and here's what we found. Caroline Igo (she/her/hers) was a wellness ...

Metal foams, also called cellular materials, are metallic bodies with interdispersed voids called cells. They have a reputation for high strength, low density, and absorbing impact. This combination ...
