Researchers led by Takuzo Aida at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem. In a study published in the ...

A breakthrough zwitterionic polymer slips through the skin’s toughest barriers, carrying insulin deep into tissue and normalizing blood sugar, offering patients a painless alternative to daily ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

TOLEDO, Ohio — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday it has started removing hazardous materials from the former Omni Polymers facility on Nebraska Avenue in central Toledo. The ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Plastics recycling and logistics provider Advanced Polymer Recycling LLC (APR), Peachtree City, Georgia, recently announced the acquisition of TKO Polymers, an Atlanta-based business that specializes ...

As the pace of change increases in the plastics industry, polymer compounders, producers of resins and additives, and OEMs need to use the latest technology to respond to regulatory, environmental, ...

Rheological measurements are among the simplest and most informative ways to discover the dynamics of polymeric fluids and solids. Linear, or small amplitude, rheology gives a “fingerprint” of the ...

Republic Services Inc. has selected Pennsylvania for the site of its third Polymer Center. According to Pete Keller, the Phoenix-based waste and recycling company’s vice president of recycling and ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...
