Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

Thermoset polymers underpin many high-performance applications because covalent cross-linking yields stability, chemical resistance, and robust mechanics.

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Researchers at the University of Fribourg unveiled a hybrid process that merges polymer 3D printing with molten metal droplet deposition to fabricate truly three dimensional electronics.

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to ...

"As global industries embrace 5G, IoT, EVs, and flexible electronics, conductive polymers emerge as a game-changing material ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

In this article, we embark on a fascinating journey through the field of polymer degradation, unraveling the intricate processes behind their breakdown, the factors that influence this degradation, ...
