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 ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team, including scientists from the TUD Dresden University of Technology, has developed a breakthrough two-dimensional conducting polymer - a special, ordered ...

A research team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology published a study in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science on April 10th, 2024, detailing a significant breakthrough in the ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...

Researchers have developed a novel material using tiny organic crystals that convert light into a substantial mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its own mass. Without the need for heat or ...

Stimulus sensitivity: They contain specific responsive groups that react to external triggers such as heat, light, mechanical stress, electric and magnetic fields, gases, pH, or particular chemicals.
