It has been polymer engineering dogma for a couple of hundred years that the stiffer the material the less it can be stretched. Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and ...

Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

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), ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new polymer design that appears to rewrite the textbook on polymer engineering. No longer is it ...

Despite a proposal to cut 10 positions from the University of Akron’s polymer science and polymer engineering program, the school's president in a December statement said the university will not do ...

Biohybrid Solutions is pioneering a new approach to bioconjugate production using polymer-based protein engineering. This innovation allows more control, expands the available polymer library, and ...

Researchers in Switzerland have developed silicone-based stretchable polymer electrolyte. Developed by Empa researchers from ...
