Chemists and engineers have discovered a fundamental friction law that is leading to a deeper understanding of energy dissipation in friction and the design of two-dimensional materials capable of ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a technique utilized to determine the viscoelastic characteristics of materials, particularly polymers, by subjecting them to a continuous, oscillating load ...

Thermoplastics are used to make a variety of everyday items. These polymers are distinguished by their ability to soften when heated and harden when cooled. In their molten state, they can be ...
