Professor Xiaokong Liu's team at Jilin University proposed an "activation-quenching" strategy for dynamic covalent chemistry, ...

Supramolecular chemistry leverages non‐covalent interactions to assemble discrete molecular components into complex, dynamic architectures. In the context of polymers, this approach enables the ...

A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based ...

Whether it’s a smartwatch that can detect irregular heartbeats or a continuous glucose monitor, electronics that can interface with biology have already started to revolutionize the future of ...

A multi-institutional team of chemists harnessed the power of a dangerous gas called SOF4 to create new modifiable polymers useful for drug discovery and material science. The team used a type of ...

Scientists from IBM Research have successfully created a new class of polymer materials using computational chemistry. The IBM researchers used high-performance computing to discover a new class of ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

When recycling plastics, contamination and chemistry conspire to degrade the quality of each recycled generation. In a perfect world, a polymer could be converted to its monomer building blocks, then ...

Using a small block of aluminum with a tiny groove carved in it, scientists are developing an improved "green chemistry" method for making biodegradable polymers. A prime example of the value of ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with ...
