Researchers have developed a simple method that converts existing generic polymers into luminescent polymers using mechanical force. Hokkaido University researchers have developed a simple method that ...

Precise synthesis of polymer brushes to modify the surface of nanoparticles and nanodevices for targeted applications has been one of the major focuses in the community for decades. Here we report a ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to ...

Engineers have developed a method inspired by the nacre of oyster shells, a composite material with extraordinary mechanical properties, including great strength and resilience. By changing the ...

The synthesis of 2D material polymers represents a groundbreaking approach in materials science, offering a diverse range of applications in various industries. These composite materials combine the ...

Linear or thermoplastic polymers are polymers that consist of long chains or strings of repeating units. These types of materials can be heated, allowing the polymer chains to slide over each other ...

Researchers develop universal, nondestructive photolithography method for quantum dot patterning for high-resolution ...

A peptide sensor to detect water-soluble polymers in wastewater, a major contributor to pollution on par with microplastics, has been developed by scientists from Tokyo Institute of Technology. The ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...
