Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...
The "The Global Market for Polymeric Materials for Advanced Electronic Packaging 2026-2036" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The report delivers comprehensive market ...
Polymeric nanoparticles are nanoscale-sized objects constructed from polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), with applications in the in vitro delivery of ...
Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties.
Thermoplastics are used to make a variety of everyday items. These polymers are distinguished by their ability to soften when heated and harden when cooled. In their molten state, they can be ...
