A South Korean research team has, for the first time, uncovered the molecular-level mechanism by which trace amounts of ...

Strings of sugars called polysaccharides are the most abundant biopolymers on Earth. Because of their versatile and environmentally friendly properties, these molecules could eventually replace some ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Construction is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, so finding new materials and methods is a crucial goal. Researchers at Flinders University have now developed a new type of ...

Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and ...

Our team used superglue as a starting material to develop a low-cost, recyclable, and easily produced transparent plastic called polyethyl cyanoacrylate that has properties similar to those of ...
