Researchers probe charged polymer droplets to reveal how their nanoscale behavior could shape future drug delivery and ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Polymers are used in a number of applications: engineered combinations of monomers create a nearly infinite number of molecules with different properties, which are identified by the structure and ...

A new self-healing polymer that is highly suitable for use as a flexible conductor in wearable devices and robots has been ...

A new plant-based polymer developed by researchers at Lithuania's Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) offers an alternative to petroleum-based plastics, with numerous added benefits. The smart ...

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 ...

Drawn fiber is used in a wide range of applications including over-braiding for hoses, medical braiding, weaves as mist eliminators, strengthening for industrial belting applications, instrument and ...

Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and ...

PIRION's chemistry produces a low-cost material enabling next-generation batteries with substantially increased energy ...

The primary purpose of the work presented herein is to investigate the mechanical properties of a lithium rechargeable battery cathode 1-3 by utilizing both the classic XP CSM and newer, ultrafast DCM ...
