Researchers at Stanford University recently came up with an interesting way (Phys.org summary) to create patterns and colors ...

By harnessing electron-beam patterning to control the swelling and contraction of a soft polymer, researchers created a ...

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their ...

Blood‐compatible polymers are central to the advancement of biomedical materials, particularly in the design of implants and medical devices that interface with blood. Their performance is largely ...

It is well documented that vibrational spectroscopy is an effective tool for polymer characterization. 1,2 Raman and infrared spectroscopy are methods that complement one another and deliver a ...

A research team of a German-Japanese University Network, HeKKSaGOn, takes inspiration from nature, creating a polymer that selectively removes toxic heavy metal ions from water Osaka, Japan – Clean ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...

Graduate student Annabelle Palmer shares insights into the team’s research on water-soluble polymers with UF Innovate and ...

A peptide sensor to detect water-soluble polymers in wastewater, a major contributor to pollution on par with microplastics, has been developed by scientists from Tokyo Institute of Technology. The ...

In Cassandra Callmann and her team’s proof-of-concept, the sticky materials removed heavy metals including cadmium and lead. Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans ...

A peptide sensor to detect water-soluble polymers in wastewater, a major contributor to pollution on par with microplastics, has been developed. The new technique takes advantage of the bonding that ...
