Europe and North America are driving expansion of bio-based polymer and bio-based building block capacity while Asia remains ...

In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

Hundreds of millions of tons of single-use plastic ends up in landfills every year, and even the small percentage of plastic that gets recycled can’t last forever. But our group of materials ...

It's always helpful if materials let you know when they're under stress, so that changes can be made before catastrophic failures occur. A new polymer is designed to provide such a warning, as it ...

In many parts of the world – particularly developing nations, where air conditioning isn't practical or affordable – people paint buildings' roofs white in order to reflect sunlight and thus keep ...

There are already polymers that are 100 % biodegradable and are not made from oil. A "100% biodegradable polymer" is one that is totally turned into carbon dioxide, humus, and water by soil ...

Supramolecular polymers—the versatile, "next-gen" polymers—offer potential applications in a variety of fields. However, achieving precise control of their polymerization requires a greater ...

To achieve efficient organic solar cells, the design of suitable donor–acceptor couples is crucially important. State-of-the-art donor polymers used in fullerene cells may not perform well when they ...
