Polymers are useful in many applications, but their mechanical properties can be greatly transformed under extreme temperatures. Knowing their performance in elevated or sub-zero temperatures is ...

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

Polymer nanocomposites are advanced materials with a polymer matrix reinforced with nanoscale fillers or additives. These fillers, typically nanoparticles, have at least one dimension less than 100 ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has become a vital tool in materials science, allowing researchers and engineers to explore the intricate structure and surface features of various materials, ...

Effect of molecular weight toward tensile properties in the present biobased polyesters, HP1. The plots of PE-18,18 (polyester-18,18, reported biobased), and ...

Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...

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

"As global industries embrace 5G, IoT, EVs, and flexible electronics, conductive polymers emerge as a game-changing material ...
