Laser irradiation of polymer nanocomposites containing CdS quantum dots is used to fabricate light-emitting microstructures. Three-dimensional microstructures can be easily fabricated from ...

Investigating the impact of microstructure on the mechanical and shock-absorbing properties of these composites is crucial for advancing the design of materials that can effectively safeguard ...

“There are an astronomical number of possibilities,” Chen says. “The design space is very, very vast.” Like polypropylene, P3HB has methyl groups poking off its polymer backbone. The form of P3HB that ...

Light-responsive hydrogel microstructures embedded within a collagen network. The microstructure in the foreground is illuminated with a green laser, causing it to contract. The contraction remodels ...
