Polymers come in many forms. Many people know about the synthetic human-made polymers seen in everyday life - commonly in the form of plastic products - but there is also an abundance of natural and ...

Biomedical polymers have been extensively developed for promising applications in a lot of biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, disease detection/diagnosis, biosensing, regenerative medicine, and ...

Scratch testing is one of the methods that allow well defined characterization of scratch resistance of polymeric materials, both bulk and coatings such as paints. The scratch technique has therefore ...

Polymer brushes are made up of continuous monomers that are attached to an interface by one chain link at a sufficiently high density for the polymers to extend outward from the substrate. These ...

While natural polymers, including starches and cellulose, are still commonly used in biomedical research, the utilization of synthetic biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical and tissue-engineering ...

Many polymers also have special surface treatments or are applied in form of surface coatings and paints. Instrumented indentation has successfully been applied for various types of measurements in ...

During the upcoming show in Milan, Italy, Meccanoplastica will demonstrate how Ineos’ sustainable polymers enable compliance ...

MIT researchers add mechanophores to polymers, boosting impact resistance and opening paths to tougher tires and electronics ...

Polymer bearings do not operate in isolation. Their performance depends on how bearing materials mating surfaces, housings, ...
