A recent study published in Advanced Science examines how the structure of linear polymer cathodes affects the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Focusing on the role of active site ...

Very long linear macromolecules can occur as fluid polymers at temperatures above their point of crystallization. These are commonly referred to as polymer melts and are key ingredients in many modern ...

Developing a practical polymer that can break down to its monomer and then be repolymerized over and over again has been a long-standing goal of plastics makers and recycling advocates. Such a ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new polymer design that ...

University of Virginia achieves breakthrough in 3D printed polymer - changing the properties of PEG to make stretchable ...

Thermal transport is a fundamental process that plays an essential role in a wide range of technologies, from advanced microelectronics and energy storage systems to materials engineered for extreme ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

Replacing the anode in commercial lithium-ion batteries with a silicon-based version could improve how much charge a battery can hold. But silicon anodes have been difficult to develop because they ...

Rheological testing of thermoplastic materials can be carried out on both melts and solid samples. Issues related to process ability can be correlated with polymer melt properties, or problems ...
