Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...
Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...
In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one component literally holds the power: the polymer capacitor. Seen in such ...
A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...
The new design maintains performance down to –40°C by replacing the freezing‑prone liquid electrolyte with one that remains fluid, and by using soft polymer ...
AKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron is ranked No. 1 in the world for polymer science and plastics engineering, according to recent rankings from EduRank.org. The rankings are based on universities’ ...
The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...
Joshua Lequieu, PhD, assistant professor of chemical and biological, has been awarded a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in support of his ...
