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), ...

MIT says the two-dimensional nature of the polymer gives it strength not typically associated with plastic. An MIT dean sees the new two-dimensional polymer as appropriate for “applications where high ...

Stanford researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering ...

The study shows that DAANAC exhibits strong thermal and photochemical stability yet remains highly responsive to mechanical ...

Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties.

The voltage response of a conjugated polymer system is not fully understood. Jonathan Rivnay, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering; Ruiheng Wu, postdoctoral ...

Researchers have developed a flexible material that can quickly change its surface texture and colors, offering potential ...

On a warming planet, your food supply depends on crops that can survive heat, drought and fast spreading disease. Now ...

The graduate program in materials science and engineering from Drexel Engineering deepens skillsets and knowledge to enhance your academic qualifications and skills to advance careers in this ...
