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 ...

High-dielectric-constant elastomers possess outstanding softness and stretchability. They allow a fast response and have a high reliability, and thus have been widely applied to wearable electronics.

Clothes that can mimic the feeling of being touched, touch displays that provide haptic feedback to users, or even ultralight loudspeakers. These are just some of the devices made possible using thin ...

Elastic polymers, or elastomers, are desirable materials because they can repeatedly de-form and re-form. But this softness often comes at the expense of mechanical strength, which the materials need ...

Today’s electronic packages have high clock speeds (multi-gigahertz range), fine pin densities (below 0.4-mm pitch), and high pin counts (over 2000). When assembled onto a printed-circuit board (PCB), ...

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio—For Eagle Elastomer Inc., it's all about value. The custom mixer and extruder works exclusively with fluoroelastomers and some perfluoroelastomers, because it's a higher-quality ...

With fast self-repair and 98 % photoluminescence, this naphthyl-rich elastomer gives flexible sensors an unexpected optical dimension. Reporting in Nature Communications, researchers have developed a ...
