Tozaro, based in Bedford, U.K., formed a technical advisory board (TAB) to provide strategic guidance around commercialization and further development of the company’s smart polymer platform for ...

New research suggests that thermal switching in smart polymer solutions may depend less on polymer conformation than previously assumed, and more on their nanoscopic environment. (Nanowerk News) A ...

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 ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have developed a new class of materials with wide-ranging potential - from medicine and electronics to optics - where cleanliness, precision, and ...

Early smart materials were typically amorphous polymers, hydrogels, or liquid crystalline systems with randomly distributed responsive groups, which limited response speed, energy efficiency, and the ...

Scientists have developed a smart, reusable adhesive more than ten times stronger than a gecko's feet adhesion, pointing the way for development of reusable superglue and grippers capable of holding ...

When the polymer was subsequently exposed to enzymatic degradation, the QR pattern emerged as the degraded regions became visible. This work introduces a new molecular design principle for polymer ...

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...
