New magnetic polymer enables stronger and more flexible artificial muscles in soft robotics
Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...
Cross-linked polymers are structures where large molecular chains are linked together, allowing exceptional mechanical properties and chemical resistance to the final product. However, their ...
BORROWING FROM nature's strategy of using intramolecular interactions to fold and unfold proteins, chemists in the Netherlands have created the first examples of single chains of synthetic polymers ...
A new approach to strengthen polymer gels has been developed by changing the length of polymer “thread” per molecular “bead”. Research team develops new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing ...
An innovative polymerization process developed by Polymer Mimetics, a UK specialty chemical manufacturer, enables high-performance polymer manufacturing with reduced raw materials consumption and ...
The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...
