Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations 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 ...

Entropy gets a bad rap. Typically associated with randomness and chaos, it can also correlate with freedom and diversity.

Photocatalytic production of H2O2 from air and water represents a promising green strategy, yet its efficiency is limited by ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...

The objective of this course is to develop broad knowledge of the most commonly used techniques for characterizing soft and hard materials, with a strong focus on microscopy techniques. This is a ...

What do cars, bridges and airplanes have in common? They are all exposed to the open air most of the time and are subjected to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Airplanes are particularly ...

A collaboration of scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham has explored a more effective and less toxic way of delivering genetic material into cells, a challenge ...
