In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Research authored by partners from the Bottle Consortium and published in Nature Communications this month aims to challenge ...

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 ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

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, ...

Electric vehicles have a cold weather problem, and drivers in places like Minnesota or Alberta feel it every winter when range drops and charging slows to a crawl. A new polymer-based battery design ...

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...

Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller molecules called monomers, are found in nearly everything we use in our day-to-day lives. Polymers can be natural or created synthetically.

Some polymers react to their environment with conformational changes: one of these is the polymer PNIPAM, short for poly(N-isopropylacrylamide). It ...
