Kevlar and Twaron are famously tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber version of the ...

Japanese manufacturer The Polyplastics Group (Polyplastics) has announced a high-performance material that it says offers heat resistance and thermal insulation properties for EV lithium-ion batteries ...

The global Silicone Film Market is on a trajectory of steady growth, with its valuation expected to rise from USD 1.2 billion ...

Scientists have a new material they say is as strong as Kevlar and way more insulating. The resulting fiber structure could protect first responders and military personnel who are in danger from heat ...

A Chinese company has showcased new types of fabrics that can withstand extreme temperatures. Some of the fabric materials presented were waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable. Safmax ...

A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production and opening a variety of new possibilities in the control ...

Different kinds of materials can play different roles when it comes to controlling heat. If we want to keep our home warm in the depths of winter, insulating layers in our walls can help to lock it in ...

Scientists have developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction. While it can conduct heat ...
