The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has become a vital tool in materials science, allowing researchers and engineers to explore the intricate structure and surface features of various materials, ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to predict separation, processing to sculpt morphology, and compatibilizers to ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

Scientists are developing a new generation of polymer-based materials that could dramatically improve the removal of persistent "forever chemicals ...
