In a world increasingly aware of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, researchers are embarking on a venture to find ...

America's infrastructure is at a critical crossroads. As they design our future, civil engineers are tackling a number of ...

"And, interestingly, there are similarities between the physics of how these structures ... theories from polymer physics, which were developed for completely different things, in these biological ...

By using leaf skeletons as templates, researchers harnessed nature's intrinsic hierarchical fractal structures to improve the ...

By forming nanocomposites, these hairy particles self-assembled into a crystal-like structure, providing different spaces between each unit for the hairy polymers to fill. The space available to ...

These polymers are very interesting ... the increase in acrylic content favored different nucleation loci in the reaction media. The diisocyanate structure has an important role in the phase ...

A robot capable of building, or more appropriately, spinning, new parts has been developed by a team of researchers from the ...

This clip could lead into broader discussion of different polymers, their properties and uses. Students could work in groups to list all the uses for polymers in their everyday life.

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a ... so different organic compounds have different melting points and boiling points. Polymers close polymerA large molecule formed ...

Many plastic polymers have similar structures, so two different polymers can have similar spectra. This overlap can lead to ambiguity in the identification process. So, an identification method ...
