Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Two University of Iowa faculty members have been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation to develop new plastic ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

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 ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

The article 'Semitransparent colour tunable perovskite solar cells with 3D pillar structure' explains that the colour tuning ...
