Polymer capsules can store functional substances such as drugs and fragrances, making them widely used in functional ...

The researchers also found that the naturally-derived polymer capsules have a stable shelf life of a year and are easily ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Researchers have created a high-performance polymer that can be chemically recycled without compromising its heat and chemical resistance. The revolutionary design includes a directing group that ...

Chemists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a "smart" polymer that could make industrial curing, 3D ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...

MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NatureWorks, the world’s leading manufacturer of low-carbon PLA biomaterials, today announced a slate of manufacturing technology projects, including lactide ...

A new study provides an unprecedented look at how monomer sequence affects charge transport in precisely defined chain molecules. Researchers in the Schroeder and Moore groups at the University of ...
