Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

Polymer gels are three-dimensional cross-linked polymer networks swollen in solvents. They are soft and capable of large deformations, with the network of long polymer molecules holding the solvent in ...

A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Materials Science and Engineering team has uncovered liquid crystalline epoxy resins with high thermal conductivity that is up to 5 times that of common ...

A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...
