Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Figuring out which combinations of materials will make the most effective polymers is a monumental and time-consuming task because the combinations are essentially endless. Researchers at Georgia Tech ...

With rapid advances in high-throughput computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, polymer informatics is emerging as a promising tool to ensure breakthrough ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University's Malika Jeffries-EL says she's studying doing structure-property studies so she can teach old polymers new tricks. Those tricks improve the properties of certain ...

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 ...

Air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO2), primarily produced during fossil fuel combustion, pose a serious concern for human health, contributing to respiratory diseases like pulmonary edema, ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesize more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials. Led by ...
