Thermoset polymers underpin many high-performance applications because covalent cross-linking yields stability, chemical resistance, and robust mechanics.

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as an exciting class of materials over the last three decades. Their solution and bulk properties are remarkably similar to those of traditional macromolecules, ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, novel nanoscale material is incredibly strong and flexible. The interlocked material contains 100 trillion mechanical bonds per 1 square centimeter -- ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

Polymer extrusion transforms materials, optimizing properties through real-time Raman spectroscopy and PCA for enhanced ...
