Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites ...

Sections were created based on the polymer structure as follows: (i) diblock polymers, (ii) triblock polymers, (iii) star-shaped polymers, (iv) copolymers with more than three monomer units and (v ...

At the other end of the molecule is a structure where the polymer electrode itself can attach. The next step in the research is to get a more evenly distributed and stable anchoring over the ...

The addition of polymer fibers can provide a little extra support, should the material be strained in tension or torsion.

"We made a completely new polymer structure," said Northwestern's William Dichtel, the study's corresponding author. "It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip because each of the ...

Researchers developed a sodium-doped amorphous SiBN catalyst, showcasing its potential for small molecule activation and ...

In 2024 the sale of polymers and polymer products at the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange for the domestic needs ...

By manipulating the microstructure of a natural polyester, researchers in the US have developed a biodegradable adhesive ...
