Scanning ultraviolet (UV) light through a slit can boost the efficiency of photopolymerization reactions and produce polymers with higher molecular weight, scientists reveal. This straightforward ...

Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply fluctuate at different intensities can spontaneously develop directional, ...
