Motivated by the lack of polymer welding information in the additive manufacturing (AM) field, this work studies the effect of diffusion phenomena in fused deposition modeling (FDM) of fluorinated thermoplastic binders…

Filaments comprised of aluminum powder and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were produced vial melt-processing to investigate the effect of particle size and loading on decomposition behavior and burn performance…

Utilizing intermolecular interactions involving organohalogens, which are often overlooked relative to more typical hydrogen bonding interactions involving N–H and O–H donor, molecular combinations involving organohalogens were designed to isolate solid cocrystals of two non-reacting liquids, as we…

A testing method was devised to examine the effect of interface history (i.e., time between interface formation and original material deposition) on localized mechanical properties to determine the viability of digital image correlation (DIC) in the analysis of additively manufactured thermosets…

Fluorinated thermoplastics are commonly used in many industries due to their extraordinary mechanical properties and high chemical resistance…

Rheological investigations using polymer melt rheology support polymer processing and provide insights into the molecular structure of a polymer. Polymers exhibit complex rheological behavior due to their viscoelastic nature and nonlinear properties…

Given the growing environmental and health concerns regarding polymer materials, understanding various methods of characterizing molecular weight distribution is essential for advancing material synthesis…

Fluoropolymers are ubiquitous in most of our day-to-day life. Fluoropolymers are present in many critical application spaces, from food processing to batteries to PCBs and many more…

With global energy consumption projected to increase by 50% by 2050, significant advancements in battery technology are needed to support the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles…
