Researchers at Empa and EPFL have reported a stretchable, silicone-based solid electrolyte aimed at addressing a persistent ...

Polysiloxane scintillators are emerging as promising radiation sensors due to their high radiation resistance, mechanical flexibility, chemical inertness, and thermal stability compared to traditional ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, researchers have discovered -- upending assumptions that the material class is exclusively insulating. A newly discovered silicone variant is a ...

Test tubes containing the new silicone copolymers, separated by chain length, from long to short provide visual evidence of the varying band gap in the new semiconductor silicone. Shining a UV light ...

High-temperature gas chromatography (HTGC) is typically limited by a lack usable stationary phases. University of Rouen-Normandy researchers created their own stationary phases and tested them under ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, University of Michigan researchers have discovered—upending assumptions that the material class is exclusively insulating. "The material opens ...

Abstract: Three boron-10 enriched aromatic molecules have been synthesized and incorporated into two different commercial polysiloxane resins, Shin Etsu KER-6000 and Wacker SilRes H62-C. Scintillating ...

ABSTRACT: The comparison between physical properties and chemical structures of several polysiloxanes was studied at initial state and upon ageings. Techniques such as densimetry, gel permeation ...
