It is hard to imagine everyday life without materials made of synthetic polymers. Clothes, car parts, computers or packaging – they all consist of polymer materials. Lots of polymers are present in ...

Researchers have developed a new method for producing polymers with different lengths. This paves the way for new classes of polymer materials to be used in previously inconceivable applications. It ...

Read how the taccor tune is an ideal source for the two-photon polymerisation process: Operating at 800 nm central wavelength, 100 mW power and with a repetition rate of 1 GHz (pulse energy of 100 pJ) ...

To address this challenge, project partner Cidaut has achieved a major milestone by developing two fast-curing process innovations: a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) system designed for frontal UV ...

A polymerisation process developed by a Leeds University spinout could lead to polyester garments never fading in the wash and food packaging that absorbs UV rays, keeping contents fresh. The Leeds ...
