The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of a broad range of strategies used to pattern polymers. Intense interest in polymer patterning originated from the diversity of existing synthetic ...

"What do you think about when you hear the word polymer?" asks curator Elizabeth Weinstein as she enters the Louisiana Art & Science Museum's Soupcon Gallery. Plastic, people say, and they're not ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Increasing the efficiencies of polymer-based solar cells while at the same time keeping production complexity and cost low will require the preparation of new classes of polymers ...

Raman microscopy has become one of the most important characterization tools in the polymer field because of the large number of chemical and structural information that could be extracted from a ...

As electronic devices continue to become more compact, flexible, and wearable, materials suppliers are coming under increased pressure to surpass traditional limitations. From foldable displays and ...

HYDRACs are a class of proteomimetic polymers designed to mark harmful proteins, like MYC and KRAS, for destruction rather than merely block their activity.

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Of all the materials that might conceivably be used to store hydrogen gas, organic polymers would not seem, at first glance, to be promising candidates. Nonetheless, they are now being investigated to ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

Louisiana Art & Science Museum curator Elizabeth Weinstein is talking a lot about polymers these days. That's because the museum's Soupcon Gallery is hosting an exhibit on polymers, "Polymers in Art ...
