Chemists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a "smart" polymer that could make industrial curing, 3D printing and repairs simpler, safer and more energy-efficient with materials whose ...

A breakthrough zwitterionic polymer slips through the skin’s toughest barriers, carrying insulin deep into tissue and normalizing blood sugar, offering patients a painless alternative to daily ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say their polymer coating could be used to protect photovoltaic modules, due to its impermeability to gases. The team has demonstrated that a ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

Tokyo — Three major Japanese chemical firms — Mitsui Chemicals Inc., Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd., and Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. — have signed a memorandum of understanding to integrate Sumitomo ...

TOLEDO, Ohio — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday it has started removing hazardous materials from the former Omni Polymers facility on Nebraska Avenue in central Toledo. The ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

As the pace of change increases in the plastics industry, polymer compounders, producers of resins and additives, and OEMs need to use the latest technology to respond to regulatory, environmental, ...

Rheological measurements are among the simplest and most informative ways to discover the dynamics of polymeric fluids and solids. Linear, or small amplitude, rheology gives a “fingerprint” of the ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...
