Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a laser-based method that can seal paper packaging by fusing wood-derived fibers ...

A polymer that catalyzes its own formation in an environmentally friendly solvent-free process has been developed by an all-RIKEN team of chemists. The discovery could lead to the development of ...

Previously, it was reported that PVDF crystalline structures were prepared separately by the solvent-casting method with different solvents. 13 Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), acetone and ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...

Scientists have developed a stronger 3D-printed concrete using polymers, capable of withstanding greater loads and bending ...

Researchers have developed electrochemical methods that break down waste PET plastic, the material in most disposable water ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...

(Nanowerk News) Just as a chameleon changes its color to blend in with its environment, Duke University engineers have demonstrated for the first time that they can alter the texture of plastics on ...
