The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

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 ...

The team published their method and experimental validation on Nov. 8 in npj Computational Materials. “Materials informatics (MI), a new branch of materials research that combines materials data with ...

FRP exhibits high levels of corrosion and chemical resistance. Unlike metal, it does not rust, nor does it rot like wood. This means that these composite materials are extremely durable with prolonged ...

Biomedical polymers have been extensively developed for promising applications in a lot of biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, disease detection/diagnosis, biosensing, regenerative medicine, and ...

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

The structure of polymer nanocomposites is quite complex, and they are heavily impacted by the composition, interfacial interactions, and individual property components. The potential of ...

Researchers have succeeded in synthesizing the longest ever bottlebrush polymer. This polymer -- resembling a green foxtail -- is composed of a main chain and numerous side chains grafting from it.

The perfect polymer—one that balances physical properties and environmental performance—doesn’t exist, but polybutylene adipate co-terephthalate (PBAT) comes closer than many. Producers of synthetic ...
