The field of polymers is highly dynamic and interdisciplinary. Our PhD program in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst naturally reflects that perspective. We ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

Swimming in the blood, sweat, cells and tears of every human are small proteins known as peptides. Many peptides can kill ...

As demand for advanced polymeric materials increases, post-functionalization has emerged as an effective strategy for designing functional polymers. This approach involves modifying existing polymer ...

The fifth ACS/FDA colloquium “The Bio of New Polymers: Biobased, Biodegradable, and Biosustainable” was held virtually on Thursday, October 12, 2023. This colloquium focused on the development of ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

MATERIALS: Extensive storage tests confirm that engineering polymers from Ticona deliver the chemical resistance required for long-term direct contact with AdBlue®, which is used for exhaust treatment ...

Seoul National University researchers first achieved natural mixing between two immiscible plastic layers using ring polymers ...

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...
