Today, the economic consumption of biodegradable polymers is of capital importance in many applications. One of the most commonly used biopolymers is polylactic acid (PLA). The printability of the biodegradable film has not been fully investigated. This work tested the printability of polylactic acid (PLA) films and compared the print qualities to common packaging films like low density pol...

The London printings of the Chilean postage stamps between 1853 and 1862 were examined using analytical instruments available at the Smithsonian Institution. There are four broad major technical areas important to philatelic research: color science (colorimetry and luminescence), paper chemistry (composition, thickness, and roughness), ink chemistry (pigment and binder composition), and printin...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has evolved massively during the last years and is demonstrating its potential in tissue engineering, wound dressings, cell culture models for drug testing, prosthesis, to name a few [...]

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201602096 of highly conductive fillers (>107 S m−1, silver nanowires and carbon nanomaterials) into an elastomeric matrix.[23] Unlike deterministic composite, these devices are intrinsically stretchable as fillers maintain electrical contact by sliding along each other during stretching.[22] Intrinsically stretchable batteries have been reported, but none are completely elasti...
