Research authored by partners from the Bottle Consortium and published in Nature Communications this month aims to challenge ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

With rapid advances in high-throughput computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, polymer informatics is emerging as a promising tool to ensure breakthrough ...

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

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University's Malika Jeffries-EL says she's studying doing structure-property studies so she can teach old polymers new tricks. Those tricks improve the properties of certain ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

Humanity is headed for a series of sustainability crises, and our pace of innovation and technology transition must substantially accelerate to avoid their worst effects. In particular, our widespread ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new gel electrolyte that both improves the lifetime and safety of ...
