Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade when they are no longer needed. Designing materials that satisfy both ...
The Synthe6 Materials Accelerator is supporting a new cohort of polymer and materials science startups through funding, ...
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 team of U.S. engineers has developed a fiber composite material that can heal internal damage more than 1,000 times, ...
Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed "living" polymers capable of growing, shrinking, healing, and regenerating after ...
An interdisciplinary research team led by Dr. Elisha Krieg at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF) has ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered a path to design superionic polymer ...
ORNL has pioneered molten salt research since the 1960s, when its Molten Salt Reactor Experiment showed that molten salt ...
Ultramicrotome Sectioning enables precise preparation of polymer samples using room temperature and cryo techniques for ...
Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...
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 ...
