Despite being relatively new, synthetic polymers — also known as plastics — are one of the most widely produced materials by volume 1. Most developments in polymer design were driven by demands for ...

The establishment of methodologies for the mixing of immiscible substances is highly desirable to facilitate the development of fundamental science and materials technology. Herein we describe a new ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. We therefore looked beyond established biocompatible polymers ...

Understanding the structure-function relationship of polymers is of critical importance for successful incorporation into commercial applications. In this webinar, Nemal Gobalasingham, Ph.D. will ...

Researchers have developed a method to tailor the properties of stress-indicating molecules that can be integrated into polymers and signal damages or excessive mechanical loads with an optical signal ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

There are a wide range of thermoforming polymers with varying properties and uses. Commonly used thermoforming polymers in schools include: ABS is commonly available in sheet and granule form. It is ...

Abstract: Protons affect the polymers mainly through scission and crosslinking of macromolecule chains. Ionization processes at proton non-elastic scattering define these effects. One of the most ...

Studies of the mechanisms of deformation associated with the nucleation and propagation of cracks in crystalline material have shown that there is a close correlation between the dislocation ...
