The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of a broad range of strategies used to pattern polymers. Intense interest in polymer patterning originated from the diversity of existing synthetic ...

"What do you think about when you hear the word polymer?" asks curator Elizabeth Weinstein as she enters the Louisiana Art & Science Museum's Soupcon Gallery. Plastic, people say, and they're not ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Increasing the efficiencies of polymer-based solar cells while at the same time keeping production complexity and cost low will require the preparation of new classes of polymers ...

Wood-plastic composites, or WPCs, are typical examples of polymers reinforced with natural materials. They consist of the renewable raw material wood (as wood dust or wood fiber), a mostly synthetic ...

Polymers are an integral part of many industries and are used in conjunction with other materials and components to make a vast array of the world’s products. There are also many different types of ...

Beyond Anticancer Therapeutics: Polymer–Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Diseases other than Cancer In the last decade, the field of polymer–drug conjugates has expanded towards novel therapeutic ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

Of all the materials that might conceivably be used to store hydrogen gas, organic polymers would not seem, at first glance, to be promising candidates. Nonetheless, they are now being investigated to ...

This article is aimed at large scale 3D printing. For medium and desktop size printing, both thermoplastic materials and thermoset materials are used. While for large format additive manufacturing ...
