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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Shinshu University developed a two-step recycling process for depolymerizing the cyclic styrene-based vinyl polymers and recovering the monomers via single-step chemical modification ...

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

A catalyst-free method for pulling apart certain polymers could help speed the industrial adoption of controlled radical polymerization—a polymer-building reaction that’s popular with researchers but ...
