(Nanowerk Spotlight) Polymers are ideal for energy storage for transportation due to their light weight, scalability, low-cost manufacturing, and high dielectric strength. Dielectrics are materials ...

Engineers have flipped the picture of the standard polymer insulator, by fabricating thin polymer films that conduct heat -- an ability normally associated with metals. In experiments, they found the ...

Advanced Rubber Products will be demonstrating its unique new Silicone Polymer Pin Type Insulators at the IEEE Transmission & Distribution Expo. The insulators are lightweight and offer easy handling ...

Polymers are usually the go-to material for thermal insulation. Think of a silicone oven mitt, or a Styrofoam coffee cup, both manufactured from polymer materials that are excellent at trapping heat.
