Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A ...
Optical anti-counterfeiting technology, as a preventive measure, has deeply permeated our daily lives. Visually readable ...
A compressor hums, an air conditioning system rattles, a railway carriage chassis clatters, sending reverberations through ...
Researchers created a novel composite material that combines high rigidity with effective internal damping. By layering stiff ...
This study introduces a composite film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) made from a single-component material system that can ...
Oscillations and vibrations damage machines and buildings, while noise affects human health and wellbeing. Damping materials are consequently needed that are not only both rigid and load-bearing but ...
Materials researchers have created a new composite material that combines two incompatible properties: stiff yet with a high damping capacity.
