A New Approach to Molecular Separation. The study, Ultrathin polymer membranes with locked intrinsic microporosity for ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

From household plastic packaging to the flexible frameworks that support wearable electronics, polymer materials form the ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

For more than half a century, materials scientists have struggled with how to simulate the complexity of polymer materials. An individual chain can comprise tens of thousands of atoms, a melt or ...

The performance and safety profile of lithium batteries has improved immensely over the years, but new technologies are constantly demanding even better performance and increased safety demands due to ...

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

In 1965, the world of materials science was forever changed by scientist Stephanie Kwolek, who stumbled upon a peculiar cloudy polymer mixture that most dismissed. Undeterred, she pushed forward with ...
