Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

Discover how polymer upcycling through reactive extrusion and FTIR microscopy enables enhanced blend compatibilization for ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a cellulose-based composite sheet that integrates paper pulp with starch, ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ways that create various colors. When the polymer swells to varying extents in ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Macrocyclic polymer membranes ...

Supramolecular chemistry is the study of entities of greater complexity than individual molecules — assemblies of molecules that bond and organize through intermolecular interactions. The design and ...

Science News has been publishing award-winning science journalism for nearly a century. Our standards and processes are essential to what we do, and we believe they should be as transparent and ...
