Rogers Corporation was proud to support USA Luge in the Beijing Games. Discover how the partnership first started and why athletes now rely on the BISCO® Silicone pads in their sleds.
As our industry adapts to the evolving tradeshow landscape, many events have transitioned their “brick-and-mortar” presence to virtual trade show experiences as a way to connect industry participants in a socially distant world. Virtual shows and events are a viable and cost-effective option to generate additional engagement when traditional shows are not practical.
Consumer behaviors are shifting when it comes to making purchasing decisions. While price point or design used to be the primary factors influencing a person’s decision to buy footwear, increasingly we are seeing more emphasis on durability and environmental impact—particularly among younger consumers.
Today’s health care workers are having more demands placed on them than ever before. Longer shifts, more days at work and more activity overall are taking a toll on their bodies. Having proper footwear is a critical factor in their comfort -helping to provide support, reduce back strain, alleviate pain and provide an added layer of protection.
Technology is moving at a rapid pace and consumers are constantly in search of the latest in innovation. This is true for the latest electronics and, yes, even shoes. When it comes to footwear, comfort, style, and functionality remain important, but people are also looking for the latest features that technology can offer.
From hiking boots to running shoes to dress pumps, innovation in footwear is moving at a rapid pace. Designing for the footwear market requires constant innovation and a continuous search for the best materials.

In recent years, marathons have been held in major cities to build up our bodies, challenge ourselves, and promote the city image. A marathon is not only a traditional sports event, but also a healthy fashion trend.
At Rogers Corporation a large part of our culture is our dedication to safety, in both the workplace and our environment. Many of our products enable safety-related applications, embodying the “protect” aspect of our commitment to help power, protect and connect our world.
When Fabrizio Belli, a businessman, and Francesco Cozzo, a researcher, met more than 17 years ago, they didn’t know that one day they would develop and produce a very unique product – the GRIN shoe. Years later, their highly scientific innovation process led to the creation of the GRIN training shoes, designed to reduce fatigue, enhance toning, and improve posture.
In our first blog in this series, we explored thermal conductivity and its measurement techniques and explained why your thermal interface material may not be as conductive as you think if you are relying on vendor data sheets. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at two other measures used in evaluating thermal interface materials (TIM).
I’ve always liked to run, but typically I was in that 2-4 miles per run realm. A few months ago, I got involved with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and decided to run a half marathon and raise some money for the kids at St. Jude.
If you’re an electronics designer or assembler addressing thermal management issues, safety is likely your number one concern. When selecting a thermal interface material (TIM) to dissipate heat, you probably started by comparing the thermal conductivity (K) of your options. But did you know that manufacturers’ advertised values of thermal conductivity can be widely inaccurate?
A member of our Rogers’ marketing communications team had the opportunity to work for a brief stint on the shoe buying team of one of America’s largest retailers. As Rogers is a major supplier of cushioning materials to the shoe industry, we thought it would be fun to learn more about her experience from the “other side of the desk.”

In a word (or three), not so much. Our customers are often surprised to learn that all PORON® Comfort materials are open cell polyurethane foams, especially when what they’re used to seeing are closed cell EVA foams or closed cell polyurethane foams.
Seating is an inarguably critical feature for many commuters, whether they’re traveling in planes, cars, buses, or trains. An uncomfortable seat can turn the easiest of commutes into a long, uncomfortable trek.
Chances are you’ve tuned into the 2018 Olympic Winter Games over the course of the last few days. You may be surprised to learn that, in addition to the athletes, cheering fans, and news crews, Rogers Corporation has a presence at the Games.
Twelve countries around the globe have set goals to end the sale of gas- and diesel-powered vehicles starting in 2040. This will significantly accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles (HEVs). It will also increase the need for improved battery management systems to monitor and control the high-voltage battery stacks, and for power semiconductor devices for battery management, on-board charging, infotainment, electric motors, and more.
A Chinese automobile manufacturer identified an issue with water leaking into the brake light of one of its models, causing short circuits and potentially a fire. The deterioration of the EPDM material originally used to seal around the brake light caused the leakage.
Unlike the baseball or baseball bat, the baseball glove was initially not part of the game. Back when most of the throwing was underhand, players used their hands. Fast forward to today and it’s a very different ball game. The Guinness World Record for the fastest baseball pitch is 105.1 mph, thrown by Aroldis Chapman for the Cincinnati Reds vs the San Diego Padres on September 24, 2010. Enter the need for impact protection.
Rogers Corporation announces an extension of the thickness range for AquaPro® 37™ – the material of choice for long-lasting protection of sensitive electronics and enclosed devices.
Recent developments in eMobility (electro mobility or advanced mobility) have led to increasing options for clean and efficient vehicles that rely on electric powertrain technologies, in-vehicle information, communication technologies, and connected infrastructures. The systems within these vehicles pose unique sealing and vibration management challenges vs cars with traditional combustion engines.
