Researchers from the Monash University have discovered a new sponge-like material called graphene elastomer. This revolutionary material is expected to be used for robots designed to help take care of ...

Ironwood Electronics has released a new 86GHz elastomer socket for QFN3 devices, using gold-plated embedded-wire elastomer ...

Responsive materials using liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) have been used in artificial muscles, robotics, and other dynamic materials. The ability to pre-align and orient the polymer network leads to ...

Researchers have developed a family of highly stretchable and UV curable (SUV) elastomers that can be stretched by up to 1100%, and are suitable for UV curing based 3-D printing techniques. Using high ...

Strain-induced crystallization can strengthen, toughen, and facilitate an elastocaloric effect in elastomers. The resulting crystallinity can be induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers ...

Calling the material the industry's first cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) elastomer, TOPAS Advanced Polymers has received Food Contact Notification (FCN) #1104 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ...

High purity seal manufacturer, Perlast Ltd announces Kimura K13X, a new technology, high purity, elastomer featuring a proprietary self-reinforcing polymer structure. The elastomer avoids the needs ...

Eagle Elastomer Inc., a custom mixing and extrusion company, is a job shop. One extruder could see two or three setups in a single shift, making logistics and task management of paramount importance.

For many years, “Made in the USA” has been used to promote quality products throughout a broad range of industries. And in today’s plastics industry, it has perhaps never been more important. Why?

Elastomers are the soft, elastic materials, like gels and rubbers, that are found in automobile and airplane parts, in sports equipment, and are used to protect precision machinery and buildings ...
