Nanotechnology applied to plastic materials makes it possible to improve their properties in different ways, such as by increasing their hardness, UV resistance and flame retardancy. Nanoparticles can also be used to provide advanced functionalities such as electrical and thermal conductivity, absorption of gases and hydrophobicity. This technology offers endless possibilities because it can be applied in any industry or sector.
Although the concept of nanotechnology was introduced for the first time by the Nobel Prize for Physics Richard Feynman in 1959, its use when developing […]
Five technology centres, coordinated by AIMPLAS, are working in the development of new coatings for different materials that gives them new properties.
Is possible that a drop of water bounces over a surface without wetting it? An interaction exists among solid and liquid materials that makes difficult […]
Next Wednesday, 25th June, from 3pm to 4pm, AIMPLAS will organize a free webinar about nanocomposites from bacteria. This Webinar will show the results of […]
