A dual cross-linked magnetic polymer solves the fundamental trade-off limiting soft artificial muscles, achieving ...

A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science created a new design that seems to rewrite the polymer engineering textbook completely. It is no longer a dogma that ...

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method for producing new macromolecules with improved properties by modifying the polymers in discarded plastics.
