Materials Sciences

Materials management deals with the research, development, manufacturing and processing of raw and industrial materials. Key aspects here are biological and medical issues, which play an increasingly important role in this field.

innovations-report offers in-depth articles related to the development and application of materials and the structure and properties of new materials.

Bridge Cable Fails, DuPont™ Hytrel® to the Rescue

Because Hytrel® provides effective electrical insulation and toughness in thin layers, the replacement cables using Hytrel® are more than 40 percent smaller in…

Contact through silver particles in ink

Modern cars are full of sensors. The optimum quantity of air in the intake tract of a combustion engine is regulated by thermoelectric flow sensors, for…

New 3-D test method for biomaterials 'flat out' faster

The technique, an advance over flat, two-dimensional screening methods, enables rapid assessment of the biocompatibility and other properties of materials…

Nano-designed transistors with disordered materials, but high performance

At present, high performance transistors are only available in crystalline materials which are expensive and have to be attached ex-situ onto larger area…

Findings a step toward making new optical materials

The method, developed at Purdue University, works by positioning tiny particles onto a silicon template containing precisely spaced holes that are about…

Ceramic, heal thyself

A new computer simulation has revealed a self-healing behavior in a common ceramic that may lead to development of radiation-resistant materials for nuclear…
