Natural polymers, such as gelatin, cellulose, alginate, chitin, starch, rubber, and fibrin, are used to develop green nanocomposites. Their use also expands to ...

Anyone who has ever had to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan knows that magnetic and highly conductive materials ...

Protein‐polymer conjugates represent a dynamic class of hybrid materials that combine the inherent biological function and specificity of proteins with the versatile properties of synthetic polymers.

Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...

(Nanowerk News) Biomedical polymers have been extensively developed for promising applications in a lot of biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, disease detection/diagnosis, biosensing, ...

Polymer brushes are made up of continuous monomers that are attached to an interface by one chain link at a sufficiently high density for the polymers to extend outward from the substrate. These ...

Over the past few decades, food packaging markets have captured the attention of researchers due to their direct impact on human health. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials find use in the food ...

Polymer developed by Toray withstands temperatures exceeding 200°C, possibly a world first for vibration monitoring in ...

Polymer-based dielectrics are widely used in different electrical and electronic devices like capacitors, power transmission cables, and microchips. To adapt to different working conditions, a range ...
