Fast scanning chip calorimetry in its non-adiabatic version allows for heating and cooling at
rates up to 10 6 K s− 1, covering all polymer processing relevant rates. Furthermore it allows …

Polymers typically show only low absorption in the far-infrared or terahertz (THz) frequency
range and are thus often used as window or lens materials for THz spectroscopy and …

Higher-efficiency, lower-cost refrigeration is needed for both large-and small-scale cooling.
Refrigerators using entropy changes during cycles of stretching or hydrostatic compression …
