Digital technologies are redefining polymer research and instead of blindly sampling vast chemical space, generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) now enables data-driven molecular design. Join two ...

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with ...

Over the past decade, polymer science has shifted from precision synthesis to circular economy design. Breakthroughs in recycling, depolymerization and data-driven methods will be instrumental in ...

These polyanions were produced using a special chemical synthesis method to obtain defined properties. The researchers were able to show that these polymers have a similar ionic charge to the ...

Over 8 billion tons of plastic have been produced to date, and a 100% reclamation recycling strategy is not foreseeable. This review summarizes how the mechanochemistry of polymers may contribute to a ...

A chemist named Waldo Semon sought rubber but found a stubborn polymer. His accidental discovery led to flexible PVC. This ...
