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 ...

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 ...

Supramolecular sensing using polymers is of particular significance not only for fundamental science but also for a number of practical diagnostic applications because, upon interaction with target ...

(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 ...

The synthesis and self-organization of biological macromolecules is essential for life on earth. Chemists now report the spontaneous emergence of complex ring-shaped macromolecules with low degrees of ...

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 ...
