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 ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

A research team at the Convergence Research Center for Solutions to Electromagnetic Interference in Future-mobility (SEIF) at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has created a novel ...

An evaluation of a negative-tone i-line photosensitive polymeric bonding material for achieving prebonding in Cu/polymer hybrid bonding at low temperatures via the Cu damascene process. The polymeric ...

Schematic representation of the fabrication process of bee product-incorporated hydrogel networks. Chitosan-gelatin (Cs:Gel) mixtures were cast into Teflon molds to form polymeric thin films enriched ...
