Rubber-like materials have outstanding damping properties because they can concurrently display flow-like and spring-like characteristics. Recently, Japanese researchers have created a novel technique ...

A range of industries use multilayer polymer films. For example, polymer laminates are employed in food packaging not only to protect food, but also to prolong shelf life and preserve flavors and ...

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities. To understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these ...
