Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...

Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...

Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

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, ...

In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Scientists are developing a new generation of polymer-based materials that could dramatically improve the removal of persistent "forever chemicals ...

S/O and vinyl isomerization enables ultrafast cationic ring-opening polymerization toward CO 2-derived polythioester with migrated in-chain C=C substituents The ring-opening polymerization of ...
