The new plastic compounds are called elastomer powder modified thermoplastics or EPMT for short. They are made up of rubber residues crushed into elastomer powder that are blended with thermoplastics.

Dr Holger Wack, scientist at UMSICHT, explains the production process:''In the first step, the rubber residues, that can be meter-long rubber pieces,

Industrial companies whose work involves elastomers such as the industrial and construction sectors, or carmakers and athletics could recycle these products,

Known as the Octopus Siphon Actuator the miniature prototype system consists of four joined 20 x 6-cm (7. 9 x 2. 4-in) elastomer balls

and holds a joint appointment with the Department of Civil and Environmental engineering, says the new material is essentially a layer of electro-active elastomer that could be adapted quite easily to standard manufacturing processes

The new synthetic material is a form of elastomer, a flexible, stretchable polymer. t changes its fluorescence and texture together,

that applying voltage can dynamically change surface textures of elastomers, Zhao says. he texturing and deformation of the elastomer further activates special mechanically responsive molecules embedded in the elastomer,

which causes it to fluoresce or change color in response to voltage changes, Craig adds. nce you release the voltage,

both the elastomer and the molecules return to their relaxed state like the cephalopod skin with muscles relaxed.

Using a system like this new elastomer, Zhao suggests, either on uniforms or on vehicles, could allow the camouflage patterns to constantly change in response to the surroundings. he U s. military spends millions developing different kinds of camouflage patterns,

and could be embedded further into polymeric elastomers extremely flexible, stretchable materials to obtain conducting rubbers."

Each DEA consists of a thin elastomer membrane between two compliant electrodes the opposing charges on each electrode generate an electrostatic force (Maxwell stress) which squeezes the membrane causing thinning and expansion

Further by using a silicon type elastomer a fast response speed and good positioning control can be achieved.

London, is made of two cylindrical chambers of silicon elastomers that extend and bend. Each cylinder contains a sack of granular material embedded in a flexible membrane that is also packed in a vacuum.

The team demonstrated that silicone elastomers can be printed seamlessly into gradient architectures composed of soft and rigid regions (meaning that for wearable devices,

The porous channels are created by mixing salt with the rubbery elastomer when still in the liquid stage.

The salt is then removed upon the elastomer hardening. To seal an organ or prosthetic so air or fluid can be pumped through it without escaping,

In a separate study published last month, Shepherd and his team developed a 3d printed elastomer

and encapsulated into a agemade from a strong 3d printed elastomer with the necessary flexibility to fit to the contours of the body.

The 3d printed elastomer body of the Spongesuit bikini has a unique, spiderweb-like design, and acts as the structure for the pongetechnology filler.

and encapsulates it in a netlike cage made of 3d printed elastomer that forms to the body.

and the University of North carolina at Chapel hill have designed a novel drug release technology that relies on a stretchable elastomer

The patches consist of an elastomer that has tiny capsules throughout its surface each filled with drug loaded nanoparticles.

This pressure comes from stretching of the elastomer film, which in turn stretches the capsules and compresses them to release the drugs.

The presentation will also discuss the development of silver inks as an interconnect material for flexible Si CMOS ICS on elastomers.

including elastomers, silicones, nylon-like materials, ceramics and biodegradable materials. The technique itself provides a blueprint for synthesizing novel materials that can further research in materials science.

Made by sandwiching a soft insulating elastomer film between two compliant electrodes, dielectric elastomers can be squeezed

Cornell researchers are close to making prosthetic body parts with the so-called"elastomer foam.""""We are currently pretty far along for making a prosthetic hand this way,

They showed that silicone elastomers can be printed seamlessly into gradient architectures composed of soft and rigid regions.

The pressure sensors are made of a carbon nanotube-elastomer composite shaped into tiny pyramidal structures that are coated onto a surface.

Electronics transmit data to your smartphone The sensors are made from a soft and very stretchy elastomer silicone film that is easy to integrate into textiles.

made of a silicon-like material called an elastomer, to easily remove the sensors, made of gold and chromium, from the silicon wafer.

The paper, tretch-Triggered Drug Delivery from Wearable Elastomers Containing Therapeutic Depots, is published online in the journal ACS Nano.

that are composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer. To make the tubes, the researchers start by dipping a rod-shaped cylindrical template in a bath of liquid PDMS.

gravity pulls much of the gelling elastomer down to the underside of the template, making the coating thinner on top and thicker on the bottom.

The conducting elastomers can be fabricated in diameters ranging from the very small about 150 microns

The secret ingredient in Shah ink is a mix of biocompatible elastomer and fast-evaporating solvents.

The energy-damping bellow is extruded using a Dupont Hytrel TPC-ET polyester thermoplastic elastomer with a tensile elastomer element made of a soft material with lower stiffness to deliver a low force response to the system.

The researchers created a stretchable and transparent sensor by layering a carbon nanotube film on two different kinds of electrically conductive elastomers.

and used to produce various types of fuels, plastics and elastomers. In this case, the team at Global Bioenergies refined it into a clear, high-grade,'unleadedfuel."

"Basically, we print 2d structures onto a pre-strained elastomer substrate with selected bonding points.

Applying a current makes this elastomer expand and contract. Arranging these artificial chromatophores in a linear array, the team devised mathematical algorithms to control how the cells react to changes in state of neighbouring cells,
