Compleximers: A Repairable Plastic That Challenges Materials Theory

Fuente: MATERIALDISTRICT
Lugar: glass
Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have developed a new type of plastic that challenges long-standing materials theory. The material, called compleximer, combines two properties that rarely coexist. Designers can reshape it like glass when heated, yet it resists impact like conventional plastic when cooled. Combining Processability And Toughness Traditional glass shatters when dropped. […]
