Semicrystalline polymers are solids that are assumed to flow only above their melting temperature. In a new study published in Science Advances, Chien-Hua Tu and a research team at the Max Planck ...

Plumber's nightmare structure presents itself as an assemblage where all exits seem to converge inward—a plumber's nightmare but an anticipated uniqueness for researchers, suggesting distinctive ...

Capacitors that power electric vehicles, aircraft, drilling systems and other high-energy equipment must charge in seconds while surviving temperatures that quickly undermine conventional polymer ...

eoregularity in the polymer main chain. Accordingly, polymers with low stereoregularity (atactic polymers) tend to be less valuable materials; for example, polypropylene can be a useful material only ...

Polymers are huge molecules that are made by connecting a series of alike building blocks at low cost. Manufacturers find them appealing due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of processing and ...
