Superior cost-to-performance ratio, resilience, and versatility are the core reasons behind the success of polymers in every major field. However, their inherent properties need to be modified as per ...

Two University of Iowa faculty members have been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation to develop new plastic ...

Polymeric nanoparticles are nanoscale-sized objects constructed from polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), with applications in the in vitro delivery of ...

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 ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

The dual-phase interpenetrating architecture was came out from the microstructure of natural materials. Based on the such unique structure, bioinspired P/CCSs was designed and fabricated via 3D ...
