The voltage response of a conjugated polymer system is not fully understood. Jonathan Rivnay, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering; Ruiheng Wu, postdoctoral ...

When a spider is spinning its web, its silk starts out as liquid and quickly turns into a solid that is, pound for pound, sturdier than steel. They manage to create these impressive materials at room ...

A novel negative-tone, photosensitive, polymeric bonding material is proposed that can be used as a dielectric enabling polymer/metal hybrid bonding. August 18th, 2022 - By: Brewer Science Wafer-level ...

The structure of polymers was first hypothesized around a century ago, but researchers had not directly seen what they look like in an actual material. Recent work from Northwestern Engineering has ...

Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...

Despite a few blockbuster transactions in recent years, DuPont CEO Ed Breen hasn’t finished reshuffling his company’s portfolio. The firm has agreed to purchase the electronic materials specialist ...
