These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative tool in polymer science, enabling researchers to predict material properties and guide polymer design with unprecedented speed and precision.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Akron $660,421 to fund a program that examines semicrystalline polymers, a type of plastic used in everything from ...

Researchers have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than current commercially available options while also being biodegradable, tunable, and reusable. The findings show how the common, ...
