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 ...

Finding the next groundbreaking polymer is always a challenge, but now researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to shape and transform the future of the field. Nylon, Teflon, Kevlar. These ...

Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC), which launched in 2024, has published its first paper which can be found in ACS Su ...

Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...

Hundreds of millions of tons of single-use plastic ends up in landfills every year, and even the small percentage of plastic that gets recycled can’t last forever. But our group of materials ...

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 ...
