Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now. Resins and other materials that react under light to form ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

Polymer precipitation is a crucial process in chemical engineering and is widely applicable to many industries including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment. In many industries, ...

Polymer fibers are ubiquitous in many spheres of human life. Clothing, apparels, cosmetics, cigarette filters, air conditioning filters, fishing nets, composites, surgical masks, extracorporeal ...

Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

Different polymer recycling methods, such as chemical recycling and mechanical recycling, can be used to manage plastic waste and minimize its impact on humans and the environment. Polymer recycling ...

The Natural Materials and Polymer Processing Group, is headed by Margaret C. Burns Chair in Engineering and Professor in Materials Science and Engineering Caroline Schauer. The NMPP group works ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...
