The polymers can be further enhanced to function in demanding environments, such as aerospace applications, while maintaining environmental sustainability. "The new class of polymers with high energy ...

If you gave the average American a plastic toothbrush and asked them to describe where its materials came from and how it was made, they would most likely be at a loss for an answer. Though we’ve come ...

Beyond Anticancer Therapeutics: Polymer–Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Diseases other than Cancer In the last decade, the field of polymer–drug conjugates has expanded towards novel therapeutic ...

A person holds a giant carton made of paper pulp filled with brown eggs. Egg cartons made from recycled paper pulp are an example of natural polymers used in commercial food packaging. Credit: ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new polymer design that appears to rewrite the textbook on polymer engineering. No longer is it ...

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Polymers today have a bad reputation – the word brings to mind microplastics, pollution, sustainability concerns. But polymers changed materials science by showing that molecular structure could be ...

In ring-slippage, the number of atoms from a carbon ring involved in a particular bond changes. Multiple ring-slippage in 18-electron metallocenes is rare due to their stability, but as seen in this ...
