What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used polymer chemistry to transform a common household plastic into a reusable adhesive with a rare combination of strength and ...

Researchers have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than current commercially available options while also being biodegradable, tunable, and reusable. The findings show how the common, ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed "living" polymers capable of growing, shrinking, healing, and regenerating after ...

Metal-organic networks have gained much attention due to their high surface areas and tunable structures, which underpin ...

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 ...

Polymer gels are three-dimensional cross-linked polymer networks swollen in solvents. They are soft and capable of large deformations, with the network of long polymer molecules holding the solvent in ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through pigmentation or dyes. Some beetle exoskeletons, avian feathers, butterfly ...

A superionic polymer developed by US scientists could potentially help overcome of the biggest ...
