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 ...

Figuring out which combinations of materials will make the most effective polymers is a monumental and time-consuming task because the combinations are essentially endless. Researchers at Georgia Tech ...

The study shows that DAANAC exhibits strong thermal and photochemical stability yet remains highly responsive to mechanical ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural ...

Two University of Iowa faculty members have been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation to develop new plastic ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...

Two recent grants awarded by the National Science Foundation will help scientists in the College of Natural Resources and Environment create new ways to use renewably sourced plant and wood polymers — ...

Sunlight makes microplastics leak hidden chemicals into water, creating pollution that spreads far beyond plastic pieces.
