The Chemical Intermediates Market is experiencing sustained momentum driven by rising demand from pharmaceuticals, ...
Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently.
Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...
Polymer micelles are tiny, self-assembled particles that are revolutionizing the landscape of drug delivery and nanomedicine.
Some polymers react to their environment with conformational changes: one of these is the polymer PNIPAM, short for poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). It ...
The optofluidic approach to 3D microfabrication achieves high assembly rates and broad material use, paving the way for advanced microdevice applications.
MIT engineers are using recycled plastic to 3D print construction-grade beams, trusses, and other structural elements that could one day offer lighter, modular, and more sustainable alternatives to ...
Researchers have created a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting ...
A new polymer reported in Nature may mark a turning point for needle-free insulin delivery. Researchers at Zhejiang University have developed a charge-shifting polyzwitterion that can carry insulin ...
Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...
As the pace of change increases in the plastics industry, polymer compounders, producers of resins and additives, and OEMs need to use the latest technology to respond to regulatory, environmental, ...
A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...
