Kapton has become an indispensable material in electronics manufacturing. Along with nylon, Teflon, Kevlar, Neoprene, and dozens of other polymers, Kapton was the product of the chemists at DuPont ...

Can you make a supercapacitor from kapton tape? Yep! Using a laser, we can decompose the Kapton (polyimide) into a graphene ...

Kapton has many advantages, including excellent thermal and insulating properties and ready availability of source materials. The polyimide business is projected to be a $4 billion global market ...

All it takes is a 405-nm laser, a 3D-printer or CNC router, and a roll of Kapton tape. As [Zach] explains, the laser energy converts the polyimide film used as the base material of Kapton into a ...

To build the sunshield, the designers looked at several plastic-like materials before settling on one called Kapton. Kapton isn’t a new material—it’s a mainstay in the world of cryogenics ...

an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and one of the coauthors on the paper, wrote in an email. Wallin wrote that although Kapton “has been a ...

Previously, the polyimide could previously be made only in sheets. The material, formally known as Kapton, is an aromatic polymer composed of carbons and hydrogens inside benzene rings, which provides ...
