What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

Polymers are macromolecules composed of simpler repeating structural units linked together by covalent bonds. Natural polymers exist in nature as biomolecules and compounds that make up the body of ...

Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...

The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used polymer chemistry to transform a common household plastic into a reusable adhesive with a rare combination of strength and ...

Novel processing methods for polymer micro- and nanofibers and fiber/matrix composites. Multi-layer elastomer constructs. Solid-state deformation processing of polymers. Light-weight, impact-absorbing ...

The self-healing conductor is able to rejoin itself (right) when pieces that have been split are brought together after being cut (middle). (Image: RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science) ...

Polymers are usually the go-to material for thermal insulation. Think of a silicone oven mitt, or a Styrofoam coffee cup, both manufactured from polymer materials that are excellent at trapping heat.

The intent of an accelerated aging protocol is to predict and subsequently verify real-time aging behavior of a product and packaging system. A robust study is built on the foundation of prerequisite ...
