Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. Cationic polymers are promising tools for transporting RNA therapeutics or RNA ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ribbons ...

CANS process has proven the ability to chemically relink carbon-hydrogen bond sites, refunctionalizing polymer ...

New research suggests that thermal switching in smart polymer solutions may depend less on polymer conformation than ...

Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades for use in energy storage systems and in the pursuit of solid-state batteries. These materials are safer alternatives to the traditional liquid ...

Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...
