Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

Despite being relatively new, synthetic polymers — also known as plastics — are one of the most widely produced materials by volume 1. Most developments in polymer design were driven by demands for ...

Amerigo Scientific reinforced its commitment to advancing the biomedical field by offering biomedical polymers tailored ...

Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone and muscle and ...

Synthetic polymers are employed in a wide range of industries, including food, automotive, and packaging, for a variety of applications. The caliber of the polymers or polymer blends utilized during ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Synthetic polymers are everywhere in our society – from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon cookware and epoxy glue. At the molecular level, these polymers’ molecules are made of ...
