Weak additive intermolecular interactions allow polymer nanocapsules to be constructed by threading cyclodextrins onto polymer chains. Cyclodextrins are large, cone-shaped sugar ring molecules with ...

A new approach to strengthen polymer gels has been developed by changing the length of polymer “thread” per molecular “bead”. Research team develops new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing ...

Threaded and nonthreaded conventional plastic fasteners have the same dimensional thread class and fit standards as those for metal fasteners. Sizes range from 00 to in. in diameter and in lengths up ...

When Fitsco developed a new range of plastic threaded inserts in 2017, the company had no idea that one of the early applications to be found could see it being specified for use at 50,000 feet and ...

(Nanowerk News) A polymer gel consists of a three-dimensional cross-linked polymer network swollen with liquid molecules. However, most conventional polymer gels are brittle because stress ...
