Tau protein fibrillization mirrors polymer crystallization. The pathway taken as tau proteins form fibrils is very similar to the pathway taken by polymers as they crystallize. Tokyo, Japan – ...

Rheology is the science of material flow and deformation, studying the transformation of fluids to solid-like materials and any state in between. Measurements of flow and deformation are frequently ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

A crucial ‘precursor’ has been identified in pathological protein fibril formation. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan) have applied ideas from polymer physics to illuminate the ...
