Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. Cationic polymers are promising tools for transporting RNA therapeutics or RNA ...

New research suggests that thermal switching in smart polymer solutions may depend less on polymer conformation than ...

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 ribbons ...

Three-dimensional polymer structures can be produced by growing polymer brush structures from a printed two-dimensional pattern of polymer initiators. The fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) polymer ...

Split ends: This image of a dendritic polymer particle was taken via confocal microscopy and coloured for vertical directions. A single “hairy” particle can reach several hundred microns in overall ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices.

Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the ...

Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

While many of us might think that concrete structures such as bridges simply stand unaided for decades at a time, the fact is that they require maintenance as often as once every five years. An ...
