My physics book has youngs modulus for only tungsten (35x10^10 N/m^2), steel (20x10^10 N/m^2), copper (11x11^10 N/m^2), brass (9.1x10^10 N/m^2), aluminum (7.0x10^10 N/m^2), glass (6.5-7.8x10^10 N/m^2) ...

Microscopists often wish – and intuit – that the microstructures that they measure correlate somehow to bulk properties. However, this correlation can be hard to measure. Machine learning, in ...

Textile cords in a rubber matrix form a key class of composites, which are used in many different applications, including tires, hoses, shock isolators, and air springs, to name a few. Today’s ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

A floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FC-CVD) method was designed and fabricated to produce high quality and quantity carbon nanotubes. The design parameters like the hydrogen flow rate; ...

In hard disk drives, digital information is stored and retrieved magnetically by a “read head” that flies over the disk within tens of nanometers of its surface. Figure 1 is a photograph of a read ...

Rubber is the general term for an elastomer, a polymeric material that may be deformed elastically by several hundred percent. Elastomers are based on macromolecules with either carbon or silicon ...

OCSiAl has expanded its portfolio of products for reinforcing and adding conductivity to rubbers with new graphene nanotube technologies for NBR rubber. With its high oil and fuel resistance plus ...

This webinar will be an overview of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fatigue testing methods and will give examples of non-tire applications (including silicone applications) where these test ...

HUDSON, Ohio—One of Alpha Technologies' latest developments extends the Premier-brand Rubber Process Analyzer's compound testing to include sub-ambient temperatures, arming tire manufacturers with ...
