Until now, the aluminum tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq3) material – which is used as the emission and electron transport layer in organic light-emitting diodes – had to be deposited under high vacuum ...

Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...

Polymers are viscoelastic fluids that are either elastic or viscous, depending on how fast they flow or deformation in the process. The viscoelastic phenomenon, as shown in Figure 1, can be easily ...

A group lead by Prof. Yang Liu from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has created a new type of "upgraded" polymer that’s far better at converting movement into electrical signals through ...
