Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Electrospinning operates on a straightforward principle involving a high-voltage electric field applied between a droplet of polymer solution (or melt) held by a syringe and a grounded collector. The ...

The glue has long flexible molecules in it called polymers. These polymer molecules slide past each other as a liquid. Borax in water forms an ion called the borate ion. When the borax solution is ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Researchers at Tartu University unveil a robotics concept that weaves its body on demand, enhancing adaptability and ...

Leading biomaterials manufacturer, NatureWorks, has expanded the capabilities of its product line of Ingeo™ biopolymers with the introduction of the Ingeo Extend platform. The new platform is designed ...

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

“The solution-processability of the furan-based polymer also opens possibilities for developing flexible and lightweight perovskite solar cells, potentially enabling new device architectures ...
