Nanocrystals embedded in glass matrices constitute a dynamic research field that bridges the gap between fundamental materials science and practical optoelectronic applications. These systems involve ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.

Researchers have developed a computational framework to predict the properties of granular hydrogel matrices. A granular hydrogel matrix could be transformative in several biomedical applications ...

The matrix binds the fiber reinforcement, transfers loads between fibers, gives the composite component its net shape and determines its surface quality. A composite matrix may be a polymer, ceramic, ...
