The scientific community has long believed that polymers—very large molecules—are too big to migrate out of products into people and therefore pose no health risks. As a result, polymers have largely ...

Chemical recycling of widely used vinyl polymers (VPs) is one of the key technologies required for realizing a sustainable society. In this regard, a team of researchers from Shinshu University have ...

Digital technologies are redefining polymer research and instead of blindly sampling vast chemical space, generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) now enables data-driven molecular design. Join two ...

MAT_SCI 431 introduces the core topics and basic concepts of polymer chemistry for materials scientists and engineers. This course covers introductory topics in macromolecular structures and ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – Eric Cochran led the way, counterclockwise, from one 500-gallon industrial tank to another and then another. By the time he got to the 1,300-gallon holding tank at the end he had ...

If you gave the average American a plastic toothbrush and asked them to describe where its materials came from and how it was made, they would most likely be at a loss for an answer. Though we’ve come ...
