Researchers from the University of Hong Kong report how solution shearing of organic semiconductor crystals is influenced by a surface tension gradient. Using a Marangoni-effect-assisted bar coating method, ultrathin, uniform layers of crystals with large domain sizes are obtained that show excellent performance in organic field-effect transistors.
Researchers created a one-step flow-through plasma-reaction system for a cheaper and more sustainable synthesis of silver nanoparticles aimed at large scale production.
Clariant announced a new anti-static masterbatch concentrate for polyethylene films used in pharmaceutical production according to new regulations.
When laser coding of PVC hydrochloric acid containing air arises. Thus, Friatec launched a fume scrubber with a corrosion-resistant filter system.
DuPont launched nylon in 1939. Now, almost 80 years later, the company overhauled and updated nylon for the 21st century and made it 3D printable.
Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes can result in direct interaction with cells in the lung and result in an increased myofibroblast population thereby enhancing fibrogenesis, the severity of which is determined by physicochemical characteristics of the nanotubes and genetic susceptibility.
