A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based ...

Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

Polymer chemistry is transforming industries, from sustainable materials to biomedicine. Over his decades as a professor of materials, chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, Craig Hawker’s ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

Scientists used molecular simulations to reveal how polymer chains adhere to alumina surfaces. Adhesion depends on both polymer chemistry and surface termination, with different responses before and ...

When recycling plastics, contamination and chemistry conspire to degrade the quality of each recycled generation. In a perfect world, a polymer could be converted to its monomer building blocks, then ...

Polymers formed from two-dimensional analogues of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be almost as impermeable to gases as graphene, researchers in the US have found. 1 The work could open up a ...

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...
