Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...
CO 2 was chemically immobilized into functional polymers under mild conditions. In this study, the team employed a copper catalyst combined with triphenylphosphine (CuCl/PPh₃) to drive multicomponent ...
According to the latest insights by Future Market Insights, the global Construction Polymer Market is entering a phase of ...
A team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), led by Yuhang Hu, PhD, has developed a new class of synthetic polymers that can grow, shrink, heal, and regenerate after their ...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables the rapid creation of metal or polymer parts with previously unimaginable features and topologies and is therefore poised to disrupt a variety of industries 1,2.
A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...
High refractive index polymer materials occupy a pivotal position in modern photonics and optoelectronics, offering a lightweight, flexible alternative to inorganic glasses and ceramics. By ...
The global Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) industry continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, with hygiene applications ...
What if a complex material could reshape itself in response to a simple chemical signal? A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Edinburgh has shown that even small ...
Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, novel nanoscale material is incredibly strong and flexible. The interlocked material contains 100 trillion mechanical bonds per 1 square centimeter -- ...
Polymers today have a bad reputation – the word brings to mind microplastics, pollution, sustainability concerns. But polymers changed materials science by showing that molecular structure could be ...
