What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

Researchers have developed an adhesive polymer that is stronger than current commercially available options while also being biodegradable, tunable, and reusable. The findings show how the common, ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or 'morphologies,' from ribbons ...

The most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon–carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics such as ...

A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Materials Science and Engineering team has uncovered liquid crystalline epoxy resins with high thermal conductivity that is up to 5 times that of common ...

Polymer gels are three-dimensional cross-linked polymer networks swollen in solvents. They are soft and capable of large deformations, with the network of long polymer molecules holding the solvent in ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed an AI-based mass spectrometric technique capable of determining the monomeric sequence of a polymer. This technique may be useful in ...

Polyethylene (PE) is a semicrystalline polymer that is one of the most extensively manufactured polymers in the world for consumer products and packaging. Shopping bags, milk bottles, storage ...
