The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

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 ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...

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

Conducting polymers have emerged as a pivotal class of materials for advanced optoelectronic applications owing to their tunable molecular structure, ...

Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even ...
