A research team led by Prof. Boseok Kang at Sungkyunkwan University has uncovered the origin of polarity inversion, a long-standing phenomenon in polymer semiconductors that occurs only in certain ...

Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade ...

The words on this page mean something because they are assembled in a particular order and follow the complex rules of ...

As electronics demand higher energy density, one component has proved challenging to shrink: the capacitor. Making a smaller ...

Following numerous experiments, the researchers developed a new model to predict the microscopic structure of the materials as well as their properties. Polymers are long-chain molecules.

IAEA launches a new research project on data-driven prediction of structural changes in polymers induced by radiation. The IAEA is inviting research organizations to join a new project that will use ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

It has been polymer engineering dogma for a couple of hundred years that the stiffer the material the less it can be stretched. Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Researchers in the labs of Christopher Bates, an assistant professor of materials at UC Santa Barbara, and Michael Chabinyc, a professor of materials and chair of the ...
