Since its discovery in the 1980s, PEDOT has shown enormous potential for applications across various industries due to its excellent conductivity, stability, and compatibility with aqueous dispersions. Chemical Structure and...
IntroductionPolybutadiene, commonly referred as butadiene rubber or BR, is a synthetic rubber produced from polymerization of the monomer 1,3-butadiene. Polybutadiene was first synthesized in the early 1930s and found applications in automobile tires shortly after. Today, polybutadiene remains an important type of synthetic rubber due to its excellent flexibility, resilience and resistance to...
Polymers and plastics have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. From phones and computers to appliances, furniture, vehicles and more - plastics are used in practically every manufactured product. However, these polymeric materials require certain additives to achieve their full potential and ensure longevity. One such essential additive used across different polymer applications are polymer...
Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has revolutionized how products are designed and produced. By building parts layer-by-layer instead of traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques, AM opens up new possibilities for geometries, personalization, and on-demand manufacturing. While metals have long been a popular material choice for 3D printing, polymers are...
IntroductionPolyphenylene sulfide, commonly known as PPS, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with excellent chemical and heat resistance properties. It was first developed in the late 1960s as an alternative to nylon in high-temperature applications. Since then, PPS has found widespread use across many industries due to its versatile material properties. This article provides an...
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most commonly used plastics globally due to its versatility, flexibility, strength and low production cost. It's a thermoplastic material which is formed by polymerizing propylene monomer units. PP compounds have a wide range of applications across industries such as packaging, automobile, appliances, consumer goods and more. This article aims to discuss the...
