The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...
Old trees are learning new tricks with the advent of composite materials. A "green composite" made from biodegradable ...
Nanoporous metals made by dealloying 1, 2, 3 take the form of monolithic bodies consisting of an interconnected network of nanoscale ‘ligaments’ in a polycrystalline microstructure with typically 10 ...
A good combination of toughness, stiffness, and strength is required for fibers used in sophisticated applications, such as microelectronics, biomedical scaffolds, bulletproof vests, etc. However it ...
This article by ADMET discusses foam tensile strength testing. A foam tensile strength test can be found in ASTM D3574 Test E which applies to slab, bonded, and molded flexible cellular urethane foams ...
If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...
