A superionic polymer developed by US scientists could potentially help overcome of the biggest ...

A new study suggests polymers can act as a Trojan horse for toxic chemicals. That’s why as more harmful small chemicals are banned or phased out, the chemical industry is moving to using large ...

Cornell researchers have developed a new way to safely heat up specific areas inside the body by using biodegradable polymers that contain tiny water pockets, which are then activated by near-infrared ...

Already, somewhere in the desert of the American Southwest, your future, greener tires may be growing. The evergreen shrub Guayule — which literally translates to “rubber” — is native to the area and ...

Controlled drug delivery to the body can be achieved using dressings made of electrospun mats, composed of polymer fibers combined with a suitable therapeutic agent. The inset shows a microscopic ...

Every day, new advances in polymer seal and material technology are made for a broad range of applications that protect, enhance and improve our lives. In order to keep up with the fast pace of need ...

A future when tough polymer resins and composites such as those found in wind turbine blades could be made entirely from plant-based, recyclable components just got a little closer. Researchers led by ...
