Australian scientists have created a new kind of rubber polymer that could make for more sustainable building materials. This versatile new material can be used on its own like regular rubber, or ...

Rubber and metal are usually thought to sit at opposite ends of the stiffness spectrum, but a new composite material developed at Iowa State University could switch from the flexibility of the former ...

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities. To understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these ...

Metal rubber materials, derived from the entanglement of metallic wires, represent a class of engineered porous composites that combine high elasticity with exceptional damping and load-bearing ...

Recent investigations into rubber materials have deepened our understanding of the complex interplay between inherent viscoelastic behaviour and progressive aging. Rubber, widely used in applications ...

BRUSSELS — The European Union has included natural rubber on its list of "critical" raw materials for a second time, a move welcomed by the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers' Association (ETRMA).

A well-put hardscape in your yard that aesthetically combines features like walkways, driveways, and patios to offer a pleasing view might be the magic touch your outdoor area has been yearning for.

It would certainly be great if the sole of your shoe broke if it could fix itself. What if your tires could repair themselves if punctured while you kept on driving? Researchers at the University of ...

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. & CANTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Origin Materials, Inc. (“Origin” or “Origin Materials”) (NASDAQ: ORGN, ORGNW), the world’s leading carbon negative materials company with a ...

AMHERST, Mass.—The snap of a Venus fly trap, the packed punch of a mantis shrimp's dactyl clubs or the leap of a trap-jaw ant are just a few examples of many "lightning quick" responses found in ...

Hundreds and perhaps even thousands of years before Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization process that made commercial rubber viable, Mesoamerican peoples were carrying out a similar process ...

Researchers have created a new, rubber-like material with a unique set of properties, which could act as a replacement for human tissue in medical procedures. The material has the potential to make a ...
