Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer, ...

Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...
