Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other, building a ...

A new review in Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials outlines how hybridizing polydiacetylene polymers with inorganic ...

Virginia Tech team creates cyclic gradient polyesters with strength, flexibility, and oxygen-barrier properties by ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed remarkably long, precisely patterned molecular threads that could open new ...

A new review in Polymer Bulletin surveys how magnetic polyphosphazene nanocomposites are synthesized, how their structure ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...
