Silicone polymers, distinguished by their flexible siloxane (Si–O–Si) backbones, have attracted significant research attention due to their unique thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. Advances ...

Synthetic polymers are used to make electronics and other technological tools, so there is a demand for research into streamlining the synthesis of polymeric materials, which Collier said can require ...

A new technique builds inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes at the same time, in the same vessel. This 'one-pot' in-situ method creates a controlled, homogeneous blend, pairing the conductivity ...

Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

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 ...

A new paper from the lab of Asst. Prof. Chibueze Amanchukwu (left) of the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including first author Priyadarshini Mirmira (right), demonstrates a new ...
