Polymer nanoparticles formed by polymerization-induced self-assembly inhibited ice recrystallization primarily through their ...

Frontal polymerization encompasses a class of self-propagating, exothermic curing methods in which a localized reaction front traverses a resin matrix, converting monomer to polymer without sustained ...

A sticky, toxic by-product that has long plagued renewable energy production may soon become a valuable resource, according to a new review published in Biochar. When biomass such as crop residues, ...

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth that drives cancer in humans. This fundamental cellular process involves ...

When a plastic fails unexpectedly, the cause could lie anywhere — processing, design, material choice or even additives. But sometimes, the problem goes deeper — back to how the polymer itself was ...

A controlled/“living” click polymerization method developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally limited to ...

Intuitively, you think that everything that you stretch will pull back, but you wouldn’t expect a couple of pieces of plastic to win. Yet, researchers over at [AMOLF] have figured out a way to make a ...

Cancer is a major global health concern and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is an urgent need for novel therapeutic agents to ...

Achieving living/controlled supramolecular polymerization (LCSP) of proteins in vitro remains a longstanding challenge in biomaterials science. Here, we find that several native proteins, upon ...
