A new study uncovers revealing insights into how plastic materials used in electronics are formed, and how hidden flaws in ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ...

The structures of polymers can vary significantly from polymer to polymer and between different hierarchical forms of the same polymer. It has also been established recently by researchers from Rice ...

Cross-linked polymers are structures where large molecular chains are linked together, allowing exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance to the final product. However, their ...

It’s all down to the material’s two-dimensional molecular structure, something once thought to be prohibitively difficult in the world of polymer science. 2D Is Better Than 1D ...

Material scientists at Texas A&M University have developed just such a polymer with a unique self-healing property never before seen at any scale. When struck by a projectile, this material ...

I will discuss the thermodynamic basis of helix stabilization by chiral sidechains as well as fundamental aspects of the simulation science and the role of solvent in folding. Implications for ...

An alternate capability to perform ultrafast fingerprinting of polymers by treating polymer chemical structures as mathematical graphs was also recently published from the Ramprasad Group in the ...
