A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down ...

Polymers can be thought of like trains: Just as a train is composed of multiple cars, polymers are made up of multiple monomers, and the couplings between the train cars are similar to the chemical ...

Researchers probe charged polymer droplets to reveal how their nanoscale behavior could shape future drug delivery and ...

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 ...

A schematic of the DISP (deep tissue in vivo sound printing) platform developed by a team led by Caltech. The technique combines ultrasound with low-temperature–sensitive liposomes loaded with ...

The polydispersity index (PDI) is an important statistic for determining the breadth or dispersion of grain size distribution. This article explores the analysis of the polydispersity index of a ...
