The polymers can be further enhanced to function in demanding environments, such as aerospace applications, while maintaining environmental sustainability. "The new class of polymers with high energy ...

Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC), which launched in 2024, has published its first paper which can be found in ACS Su ...

Polymers are large molecules that are made by linking a series of identical building blocks. They are attractive for manufacturing because they are inexpensive and easy to process and modify. To ...

Beyond Anticancer Therapeutics: Polymer–Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Diseases other than Cancer In the last decade, the field of polymer–drug conjugates has expanded towards novel therapeutic ...

Polymers today have a bad reputation – the word brings to mind microplastics, pollution, sustainability concerns. But polymers changed materials science by showing that molecular structure could be ...

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 ...

Crude oil refining still relies heavily on thermal distillation, a process that separates hydrocarbons by repeated heating and phase changes. A new review highlights a promising alternative: ...

Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...
