It has been polymer engineering dogma for a couple of hundred years that the stiffer the material the less it can be stretched. Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and ...

AKRON—The University of Akron is giving its students the opportunity to build a strong foundation in the polymer industry as it becomes the first public university in Ohio to offer an undergraduate ...

A non-toxic coating developed by researchers at University of Toronto Engineering prevents proteins from sticking to surfaces ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...

In your undergraduate program, you’ll master the foundations of polymers through 90 credit hours and specialize in one of two tracks: traditional polymer engineering or biomaterials. You’ll then build ...

The birthplace of NBA star Lebron James also is home to the world's top polymer science and plastics engineering program. Yes, we're talking about Akron, Ohio, home of the University of Akron, which ...
