Soft synthetic and biological polymers often inherit their mechanical properties from their underlying network structures. These networks can be extremely diverse in terms of the nature of their ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

A recent study by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo unveils the molecular mechanisms explaining why some "stealth" drug coatings fail to evade the immune system. Using single-molecule atomic ...

Detailed experiments provide new insights into the forces and mechanisms that influence polymer micelle formation and gelling ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University’s Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have created an artificial polymer that self-organizes into a controlled helix, according to a study published ...

A recent article published in Petroleum Science demonstrated the high-temperature stability of water-soluble nanocomposites modified with exfoliated organic montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets, which ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

Researchers at the University of Fribourg unveiled a hybrid process that merges polymer 3D printing with molten metal droplet deposition to fabricate truly three dimensional electronics.
