Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

It's always helpful if materials let you know when they're under stress, so that changes can be made before catastrophic failures occur. A new polymer is designed to provide such a warning, as it ...

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 the largest producer.

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system – but creating polymers with ...

Hundreds of millions of tons of single-use plastic ends up in landfills every year, and even the small percentage of plastic that gets recycled can’t last forever. But our group of materials ...

Supramolecular polymers—the versatile, "next-gen" polymers—offer potential applications in a variety of fields. However, achieving precise control of their polymerization requires a greater ...

There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil ...
