Researchers have identified a key flaw in safer battery materials that limits how efficiently ...

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

Many important technologies, from handheld phones to medical devices and transportation vehicles, rely on rechargeable ...

Made in both copolymer and homopolymer forms which do not greatly differ. Both are tough, hard, stiff polymers with exceptional abrasion resistance and good appearance (can provide high surface gloss) ...

The development hinged on chemical engineering and materials science professor Kechun Zhang and postdoctoral associate Mingyong Xiong first designing a biosynthetic route to make the six-membered ring ...

Urinary tract catheters are widely used in hospitalized patients, but they often lead to bacterial infections. Researchers have now developed a biocompatible copolymer that could prevent bacteria from ...

Researchers at Ulm University and Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena have built a molecular system that captures solar energy in a water-soluble redox copolymer, stores it at more than 80% charging ...

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 ...
