Polymers come in many forms. Many people know about the synthetic human-made polymers seen in everyday life - commonly in the form of plastic products - but there is also an abundance of natural and ...

Imagine a polymer with removable parts that can deliver something to the environment and then be chemically regenerated to function again. Or a polymer that can lift weights, contracting and expanding ...

Organic polymers can nowadays be found in solar cells, sensors, LEDs and in many other technical applications. One specific type of polymers - known as S-PPVs - were previously regarded as promising ...

However, they must be suitable for their intended use, regardless of whether they are functional or cosmetic. Their research, development, and quality control processes are heavily reliant on the ...

Several approaches have been developed to engineer IFLs, and these mainly depend on whether most of the charges that cross the conductor–semiconductor interface are electrons (negative charges) or ...

(Nanowerk News) Organic polymers can nowadays be found in solar cells, sensors, LEDs and in many other technical applications. One specific type of polymers - known as S-PPVs - were previously ...

Nowadays, MPPs can be ubiquitously detected around the globe in aquatic environments. Rivers, arctic ice, lakes, oceans, tap water and bottled water are all contaminated with microplastic particles.

A team of scientists has got a step closer to making several different types of plastic much easier to recycle, using a method that could be applied to a whole range of difficult-to-recycle polymers, ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

According to MarketsandMarkets, "Piezoelectric Polymers Market by Polymer Type (PVDF, PVDF-TrFE), Material Form (Films & Sheets, Molded Components), Application (Sensors, Transducers), End-use ...
