MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the ...

A new way to synthesize polymers, called hydrothermal synthesis, can be used to produce important high-performance materials in a way which is much better for the environment. Dangerous toxins which ...

Understanding the structure-function relationship of polymers is of critical importance for successful incorporation into commercial applications. In this webinar, Nemal Gobalasingham, Ph.D. will ...

(b) Linear polymers in which the intermolecular forces of attraction are in between those of elastomers and fibres and can be melted again and again on heating followed by moulding to give the desired ...

A new type of semiconducting polythiophene with high charge-carrier mobility could potentially be used in flexible, lightweight, and ultimately large-area displays, according to Iain McCulloch and ...

Interface Polymers, based at Loughborough University’s Science and Enterprise Park (LUSEP), has secured a £2m investment round led by private capital investment group 24Haymarket to advance its unique ...

Studies of the mechanisms of deformation associated with the nucleation and propagation of cracks in crystalline material have shown that there is a close correlation between the dislocation ...

Many materials that we use every day are not sustainable. Some are harmful to plants or animals, others contain rare elements that will not always be as readily available as they are today. A great ...
