Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade ...

A research team at Georgia Tech has built what it calls the first generative AI system purpose-built for polymer design, and ...

A research team led by Prof. Boseok Kang at Sungkyunkwan University has uncovered the origin of polarity inversion, a long-standing phenomenon in polymer semiconductors that occurs only in certain ...

As electronics demand higher energy density, one component has proved challenging to shrink: the capacitor. Making a smaller ...

Discover how polymer upcycling combines reactive extrusion and FTIR analysis to create high-performance recycled plastics.

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

A research study describes a systematic high-throughput design approach for virtual screening and creation of novel polypeptide-based molecules that form regular secondary structures that can be used ...

In this article, we embark on a fascinating journey through the field of polymer degradation, unraveling the intricate processes behind their breakdown, the factors that influence this degradation, ...

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

Whenever body armor comes to mind, we expect it to be heavy and inconvenient. However, there is a lightweight variant that makes use of 2D polymer material that is stronger than steel but as flexible ...
