Polymers come in many forms. Many people know about the synthetic human-made polymers seen in everyday life - commonly in the form of plastic products - but there is also an abundance of natural and ...

Organic polymers can nowadays be found in solar cells, sensors, LEDs and in many other technical applications. One specific type of polymers - known as S-PPVs - were previously regarded as promising ...

However, they must be suitable for their intended use, regardless of whether they are functional or cosmetic. Their research, development, and quality control processes are heavily reliant on the ...

The chemical origin of life on Earth is a puzzle that scientists have been trying to piece together for decades. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain how life came to be and what chemical and ...

Polymers are an integral part of many industries and are used in conjunction with other materials and components to make a vast array of the world’s products. There are also many different types of ...

Most people are aware that plastic waste is a problem. Almost all types of plastics that we use in our everyday lives are ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A team of chemists from MIT and Duke University has discovered a counterintuitive way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with a type of ...

A proprietary radio-frequency (RF) welding technology from Genesis Plastics Welding (Fortville, IN) enables the joining of thin-gauge polyethylene, polypropylene and low-loss polymers without the use ...

Copper nanoparticles from beetroot extract enhance antimicrobial properties in polymer composites, offering a sustainable ...
