Engineer Patents Waterlike Polymer to Create High-Temperature Ceramics Date: March 30, 2017 Source: Kansas State University Summary: Using five ingredients — silicon, boron, carbon, nitrogen and ...

Using five ingredients -- silicon, boron, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen -- a Kansas State University engineer has created a liquid polymer that can transform into a ceramic with valuable thermal ...

This capability has been successfully tested on several plastics, including PMMA and polystyrene. The monomer recovery yields reach up to 62% for polystyrene—a breakthrough for this polymer ...

The researchers made molecular chains with alternating sections of the two polymers. The long PDMS parts provide flexibility, and the urea parts provide strong bonds, creating a new polymer with both ...

Horn is made of keratin - a mixed carbon-nitrogen polymer - the same stuff that skin and hair, including wool, is made of. But the history goes back further.

Polymers are materials made of long, ... (DNA and RNA) are polymers of nucleotides — complex molecules composed of nitrogen-containing bases, sugars and phosphoric acid, ...
