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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For developing a room-temperature quantum material, instead of using rigid crystals like diamond or silicon carbide, 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 ...

Imagine a world where flat tires are a thing of the past. Through the development of a novel polymer, this dream is now a ...

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 ...
