Using five ingredients — silicon, boron, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen — an engineer has created a liquid polymer that can transform into a ceramic with valuable thermal, optical and electronic ...

A recent article published in Petroleum Science demonstrated the high-temperature stability of water-soluble nanocomposites modified with exfoliated organic montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets, which ...

Temperature-responsive polymers, notably poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and its derivatives, have emerged as versatile materials in chromatography, enabling dynamic modulation of surface properties in ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21, 2017 -- Polymers are used for myriad applications today, and perhaps the most important property that dictates which polymer is chosen for a given application is its "glass ...

A printable organic polymer that assembles into chiral structures when printed has enabled researchers to reliably measure the amount of charge produced in spin-to-charge conversion within a ...

Polymer extrusion transforms materials, optimizing properties through real-time Raman spectroscopy and PCA for enhanced ...
