In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry group of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) present a solution to the challenging problem of ...

Essentially, the tufts of tiny hairs on gecko feet get so close to the contours in walls and ceilings that electrons from the gecko hair molecules and electrons from the wall molecules interact with ...

Copolymers with hydrophobic polymers form nano-sized structures, such as micelles, nanoparticles and nanofibers, by self-assembly, leading to the production of various biomaterials. In this ...

Nanotechnology packaging offers better barrier performance, increased mechanical strength, and improved thermal stability.

HRL Laboratories, LLC announces the development of an innovative antimicrobial biphasic polymer coating designed to combat viruses and bacteria on surfaces while maintaining high durability standards ...

Researchers have made strides creating strong, long-lasting imitation muscle as science fiction slowly evolves into fact.

Unlocking Plastic Recycling Since their widespread adoption by the manufacturing industry in the 1960s, plastics have become an omnipresent material in our daily lives. They are also the cause of very ...

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...

Advanced recycling processes modify the molecular structure of plastic waste to create a basic raw material, namely monomers, which can be processed again into all-new polymers. To accelerate this ...
