Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

Researchers developed a machine learning model that accurately predicts which polyimide structures will form liquid crystalline phases, speeding up the design of thermally conductive polymers for ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. This has been shown in a new study by researchers from Martin Luther University ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Selecting the right packaging to get precious cargo from point A to point B can be a daunting task at the post office. For some time, scientists have wrestled with a similar set of questions when ...

The aliphatic polyketone copolymers (PK copolymer) are composed of a perfectly alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethylene. Despite being a relatively new family of polymers, these ...

The R/flex 3000 family of liquid-crystalline polymer-based circuit materials now includes R/flex 3850 double-clad laminate. It offers a low dielectric constant (Dk = 2.9) for controlled impedance ...

For semi-crystalline polymers, the crystallinity rate is a key parameter which directly influences mechanical properties, such as mechanical resistance or stiffness, as well as thermal and gas barrier ...

Researchers at RMIT University have developed a nylon-11 film that generates electricity when squeezed, stepped on, or even ...

A machine learning method developed by researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, and other institutions accurately predicts liquid crystallinity of ...
