Two University of Iowa faculty members have been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation to develop new plastic ...

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 ...

The article 'Semitransparent colour tunable perovskite solar cells with 3D pillar structure' explains that the colour tuning ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

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 ...

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, ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

Polymeric nanoparticles are nanoscale-sized objects constructed from polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), with applications in the in vitro delivery of ...

Whenever body armor comes to mind, we expect it to be heavy and inconvenient. However, there is a lightweight variant that makes use of 2D polymer material that is stronger than steel but as flexible ...
