In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...

Liquid chromatography has become an indispensable tool in the detailed characterisation of block copolymers. This versatile technique exploits differences in chemical composition, molar mass and ...

In exploring the properties and potential of a theoretical material, scientists at Rice University have developed a real structure with some very real stopping power. The team’s 3D-printed cube of ...

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the quest to create materials that are both lightweight and strong, scientists have long been inspired by the intricate structures found in nature. From the lattice-like bones ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...
