Chemists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a "smart" polymer that could make industrial curing, 3D ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Northwestern Engineering synthetic biologists have expanded the capabilities of engineered ribosomes as a vehicle to synthesize novel biopolymers, setting the stage for developing new medications and ...

A simple burst of visible light can now create skin-safe electrodes that could transform medical and wearable electronics.

Researchers from China and the UK have discovered a protein complex that supports nutrient homeostasis and lignin polymerization in plants, thus suggesting a way to improve water and nutrient ...

Several hindrances to the recycling of synthetic polymers, including material separation and post-treatment degradation of the macromolecular polymer chains, negatively affect the cost-efficiency and ...

A research team developed a microbial strain that efficiently produces aromatic polyester using systems metabolic engineering. Among various eco-friendly polymers, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) stand ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...
