Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new polymer design that ...

A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

Going glassy: Revealing structure and dynamics of glassy polymers during transition Simulation of glass transition in a polymer film and offers fundamental insights about the influence of ...

Bacteria in polymers create cable-like structures that grow into living gels by California Institute of Technology Editors' notes ...

Earthworms often form a cluster, from which they can barely free themselves. A similarly active, writhing structure forms when the tentacles of lion's mane jellyfish become entangled. Robotic ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications , researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence.

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ...

Scientists Create Armor-Like Polymer That's Stronger Than Steel But as Flexible as Fabric Visualize wearing a chainmail, but it's lightweight.

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.
