The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...

An innovative product with the potential to replace polymers used in soil fertilizers is being developed in São Carlos in the ...

Shell Polymers has introduced its new line of Advanced Chrome Catalyst grades. Produced using gas-phase chrome catalyst technology, the first three grades are now available for testing and commercial ...

Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient way of controlling indoor temperature. By moving heat between locations, they avoid the inefficiencies of generating heat in the first place. But that doesn’t ...

While natural polymers, including starches and cellulose, are still commonly used in biomedical research, the utilization of synthetic biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical and tissue-engineering ...

Investigating FKM's stability under pressure reveals critical insights into thermal and oxidative degradation, essential for ...

Scientists have developed photoresponsive supramolecular polymers that can undergo both intrachain folding and interchain aggregation. The material properties of polymers are determined by the ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ways that create various colors. When the polymer swells to varying extents in ...
