Dr. Ho Seong Jang and colleagues at the Extreme Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology ...

Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films that are more durable, more thermally stable and harder than conventional self-healing materials.

The traditional film model for particle dissolution assumes that flux behavior depends primarily on particle size relative to ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...

A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate ...

To address this challenge, a joint research team from POSTECH and Korea University engineered a film combining a perforated silver (Ag) substrate, a Bragg mirror, and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS ...

The scientists explained that their transmission-type daytime radiation cooling system consists of a chamber made of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that is ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate (Si–O –) groups. This ability stems from their ...
