New research suggests that thermal switching in smart polymer solutions may depend less on polymer conformation than previously assumed, and more on their nanoscopic environment. (Nanowerk News) A ...

Tozaro, based in Bedford, U.K., formed a technical advisory board (TAB) to provide strategic guidance around commercialization and further development of the company’s smart polymer platform for ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...

When producing "smart fabrics" made of conductive fibers, it can be difficult placing functional elements such as electrodes in specific locations along those fibers. A new polymer, however, could ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at Georgia Tech have unveiled a revolutionary polymer membrane, aptly named DUCKY polymers, with the potential to revolutionize the way crude oil is ...

When the polymer was subsequently exposed to enzymatic degradation, the QR pattern emerged as the degraded regions became visible. This work introduces a new molecular design principle for polymer ...
