Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

The coordination chemistry of uranyl complexes and polymers represents a dynamic and multifaceted field. At its core, researchers are exploring the ways in which the uranyl ion (UO 2 2+) interacts ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Figuring out which combinations of materials will make the most effective polymers is a monumental and time-consuming task because the combinations are essentially endless. Researchers at Georgia Tech ...

The research team used a 'new chemical strategy' to create plastic that would degrade naturally.

A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed ...

Thermal transport is a fundamental process that plays an essential role in a wide range of technologies, from advanced microelectronics and energy storage systems to materials engineered for extreme ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

Rheological measurements are among the simplest and most informative ways to discover the dynamics of polymeric fluids and solids. Linear, or small amplitude, rheology gives a “fingerprint” of the ...

Humanity is headed for a series of sustainability crises, and our pace of innovation and technology transition must substantially accelerate to avoid their worst effects. In particular, our widespread ...
