Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered a path to design superionic polymer ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system – but creating polymers with ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed "living" polymers capable of growing, shrinking, healing, and regenerating after ...

Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

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 ...

There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil ...
