Above you can see how this works, with one PTFE tube feeding polymer filament, and the other feeding carbon fiber. At the bottom of the machine in the accompanying stand, there is space for several ...
DuPont invented continuous nylon filament 50 years ago, melting the polymer at high temperatures and forcing it under pressure through a spinnaret, yielding threads that were then crimped to add ...
Do you know how to easily re-spool 3D printer filament? I’ve been doing this from time to time for various reasons. Usually it’s because the spool itself has broken, and the filament must be placed on ...
Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...
A new polymer can store data in nanoscale indents, offering higher storage density and better sustainability by being quickly erasable and reusable. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers at Flinders ...
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Thursday unveiled the First Philippine Polymer Banknote (FPP) Series, featuring new banknote designs after the release of the P1,000 polymer banknote into ...
Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Well-defined vinyl ...
