ORNL has pioneered molten salt research since the 1960s, when its Molten Salt Reactor Experiment showed that molten salt ...

Researchers at Koç University have developed a light-driven method to produce porous semiconducting polymers under ambient ...

Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade when they are no longer needed. Designing materials that satisfy both ...

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...

Polymer chemistry is transforming industries, from sustainable materials to biomedicine. Over his decades as a professor of materials, chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, Craig Hawker’s ...

A research team at Georgia Tech has built what it calls the first generative AI system purpose-built for polymer design, and ...

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative tool in polymer science, enabling researchers to predict material properties and guide polymer design with unprecedented speed and precision.

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

The application of field-theoretic simulations (FTS) in polymer science has emerged as a powerful approach to unravel the complex interplay of fluctuations and interactions in macromolecular systems.

Faced with a budget shortfall, the University of Akron (UA) is proposing to merge its department of chemistry; department of chemical, biomolecular, and corrosion engineering; and School of Polymer ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...
