Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs. Cationic polymers are promising tools for transporting RNA therapeutics or RNA ...

Researchers from the Skoltech Engineering Center's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional polymer structures can be produced by growing polymer brush structures from a printed two-dimensional pattern of polymer initiators. The fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) polymer ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices.

Split ends: This image of a dendritic polymer particle was taken via confocal microscopy and coloured for vertical directions. A single “hairy” particle can reach several hundred microns in overall ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ribbons ...

Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

Imagine a world where flat tires are a thing of the past. Through the development of a novel polymer, this dream is now a ...

Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the ...
