Designed for heat sinks and other thermal-management solutions, the next-generation CoolPoly thermally conductive thermoplastics are up to 50% lighter than aluminum and exhibit no antenna effect ...

Plastic that can conduct an electric charge is a material that can be used for everything from sensors that detect and even treat serious illnesses to self-cooling clothing or electronic adhesive ...

Imagine a material that is mouldable, biocompatible and glitters like gold. This is a new form of plastic (a conjugated polymer) that can conduct an electric charge. This material can be used for ...

A research group, led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, presents an ordinary silk thread, coated with a conductive plastic material, that shows promising properties for turning textiles ...

Interstate Plastics’ new guide compares static dissipative and conductive plastics, explains ESD behavior, and simplifies material selection for buyers. Choosing between static dissipative and ...

Everything is a fuse if you run enough current through it. Or at least [JohnsonFarms.us] seems to think so, which has led him to design 3D-printed fuses made from conductive PLA filament. Conductive ...

(Nanowerk News) Thermoelectric textiles convert temperature differences, for example between our bodies and the surrounding air, into an electrical potential. This technology can be of great benefit ...
