Imagine a polymer with removable parts that can deliver something to the environment and then be chemically regenerated to function again. Or a polymer that can lift weights, contracting and expanding ...

Polymers come in many forms. Many people know about the synthetic human-made polymers seen in everyday life - commonly in the form of plastic products - but there is also an abundance of natural and ...

IR spectroscopy or infrared spectroscopy is used for identifying a group of chemical species in a wide range of sample materials. This technique is mainly utilized for classifying organic chemical ...

Chemists discovered a new way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, they could increase the materials' resistance to tearing ...

Synthetic polymers are ubiquitous in the modern world, but our ability to exert control over the molecular conformation of individual polymers is very limited. In particular, although the programmable ...

Infrared spectroscopy or IR spectroscopy is used for identifying a group of chemical species in a wide range of sample materials, especially for classifying organic chemical materials based on the ...

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 ...

It was at the heart of the Creps (‘Sports Expertise and Performance Resource Centre’) in Vichy, France, that the French Society of Plastics Engineers, SFIP, chose this year to hold its event dedicated ...

CHICAGO, IL—New-generation DES provide better clinical outcomes than earlier devices over 10 years of follow-up, results from the ISAR-TEST 4 trial confirm, but a potential late added benefit of using ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A team of chemists from MIT and Duke University has discovered a counterintuitive way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with a type of ...
