An artist takes advantage of muscle-mimicking polymers to manipulate sounds. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent ...

Sign us up for some! Although the fabrication process looks a bit daunting, we love the results of working with electro-active polymers. These are sheets of plastic that can flex by contracting in ...

Our research group focuses on: 1. Ferroelectric and dielectric functional polymers for electrical applications. 2. Electroactive polymers. 3. Polymer nanocomposites and polymer brushes. Guanchun and ...

“CRPs are less likely to dissolve in a battery’s electrolyte than most electroactive polymers,” explains Sjödin. Traditional electroactive polymers also require conductive ...

The Hosono TEAM project explored “today’s stone tools” involving new active properties based on excited electrons in transparent materials as well as novel electronic-active materials. Transparent ...
