A safety-level-oriented framework is proposed to systematically classify polymer-based flexible health-monitoring devices from noninvasive to long-term implantable modalities. Material–safety ...

Finding the next groundbreaking polymer is always a challenge, but now researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to shape and transform the future of the field. Nylon, Teflon, Kevlar. These ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

An Ehime University research team directed by H. Shimomoto and E. Ihara has developed a new molecular design strategy that ...

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 ...

If you gave the average American a plastic toothbrush and asked them to describe where its materials came from and how it was made, they would most likely be at a loss for an answer. Though we’ve come ...

The ACS GCI Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC) is a group committed to exploring the utilization of natural polymers to accelerate the development of more sustainable functional materials. Launched in ...
