A novel composite that combines the best qualities of quasicrystals and polymer is generally outperforming similar materials in wear-resistance ordeals reports Ames Laboratory, Ames, Iowa. unraveled by researcher Valerie Sheares, the quasicrystal-filled material is hard, nonabrasive, and has cheap thermal conductivity. In addition to the improved performance of the polymer the composite proposes a more ...
