Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the temperature of the chemical reaction to stabilize the process. Academics in the ...

Scientists in South Korea have unveiled an ultra-stretchable hydrogen electrolyte that can expand up to 900 percent of its original size while staying fully functional at subzero temperatures. The ...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new polymerization technique that chains chemical reactions in sequence, much like toppling dominoes, to produce sulfur-containing ...

Most people are aware that plastic waste is a problem. Almost all types of plastics that we use in our everyday lives are derived from fossil sources. When they end up in the environment, they cause ...

Researchers in Sweden have unveiled a way to create high-performance electronic electrodes using nothing more than visible light and specially designed water-soluble monomers. This gentle, ...

Achieving living/controlled supramolecular polymerization (LCSP) of proteins in vitro remains a longstanding challenge in biomaterials science. Here, we find that several native proteins, upon ...

ORNL’s invention may change plastic’s environmental fate by rearranging polymeric building blocks to customize the properties of plastics. Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can ...

Nano- and microscale 3D printing offers design freedom and efficiency, paving the way for numerous pioneering innovations, particularly in the fields of micro-optics and micromechanics. In turn, these ...

Abstract: The polymerization process produces industrially important products; hence, its monitoring and control are of paramount importance. However, the nonavailability of real-time (on-demand) ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

Vat polymerization, the earliest and most established 3D printing technology, offers abundant advantages of high-precision fabrication and rapid printing speed, among others. This technology is often ...
