Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...

A term often associated with hazardous materials and water is miscibility. If a chemical is miscible with water, it will mix with water, which could make clean up very difficult. This is a very ...

A technique first described back in the 1960’s, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is still a mainstay of drug-polymer miscibility analysis in most pharmaceutical research groups. Now, a new ...

Newly discovered Liquid-to-liquid transition could find practical applications. Liquids are no longer a single state of matter. Scientists have discovered a so-called liquid-to-liquid transition, ...

A method is described that can predict the way the great majority of polyolefins mix with each other just based on knowledge of their chemical architecture. The miscibility of saturated hydrocarbon ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...
