SCHATTDORF, Switzerland—Datwyler Holding Inc. has strengthened its innovative polymer capabilities with the acquisition of Swiss startup CT Systems S.R.L. A spin-off of the Swiss Federal Laboratories ...

Electroactive polymer complexes integrate transition-metal centres and conjugated organic ligands within a macromolecular framework to deliver reversible redox activity and electronic conductivity.

This electroactive polymer hydrogel “learned” to play Pong. Credit: Cell Reports Physical Science/Strong et al. “Our research shows that even very simple materials can exhibit complex, adaptive ...

"It's electroactive and has ionic conductivity capability, which is more similar to what we have in our bodies," Ameer said. To demonstrate the efficacy of this electroactive scaffold in bladder ...

A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...

Soft actuators—materials that change shape in response to stimuli—are considered the foundation of the next generation of robots. These materials, which can bend, twist, contract, and expand, promise ...

Scientists are developing a new generation of polymer-based materials that could dramatically improve the removal of persistent “forever chemicals” from drinking water, according to a new review ...
