Polymer chemistry continues to evolve through the design and synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures that underpin a broad spectrum of advanced materials. Brush polymerization, a specialised ...

Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Polymer capsules can store functional substances such as drugs and fragrances, making them widely used in functional ...

The researchers also found that the naturally-derived polymer capsules have a stable shelf life of a year and are easily ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at—or rather, through—a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

A new twist on two-photon polymerization has been used to deliver objects, including lasers and an elephant, directly into ...

SPE/MPD MiniTec conference at MD&M West features medical polymer innovations, sustainability keynote, and device design ...

The "Conductive Polymers Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market for conductive polymers is estimated to grow from $11.2 billion in 2025 and forecast to ...
