Researchers from Harvard Medical School, the University of Heidelberg, and the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have investigated water-induced self-repair of pectin biopolymer films and evaluated its effects on the material’s properties.
A team of researchers from Spain, France, and Australia have highlighted the development and advantages of double-layer polymer electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. Their research has been published in ACS Energy Letters.
Researchers from China have reported the development of robust bio-based hybrid aerogels using green synthesis methods which possess superior mechanical flexibility and dimensional stability, with potential uses for sound absorption.
They present a straightforward one-pot, mild, and catalyst-free polycondensation strategy via dynamic imine chemistry along with the combination of low-cost and promising ambient pressure drying to construct monolithic dynamic covalent polymer aerogels (DCPAs).
Writing in Polymers, a team of researchers from China have investigated the properties, applications, and challenges of 3D printed polymers for use as reinforcement materials in cements.
Conversion of mechanical stress into electricity or vice versa is done by piezoelectric materials and could be useful in actuators, sensors, and several other applications.
Industrial processes for chemical separations, including natural gas purification and the production of oxygen and nitrogen for medical or industrial uses, are collectively responsible for about 15 percent of the world’s energy use.
Stanford chemical engineers have developed high-brightness, stretchy color displays after uncovering a groundbreaking method of creating an elastic light-emitting polymer.
Achieving green synthesis of dyes and the dyeing process is critical for the sustainability and environmental friendliness of the textiles industry. To investigate this potential, a team of scientists from China have published a paper, currently in the pre-proof stage, in the journal Dyes and Pigments.
Researchers from Italy and Spain have developed photocurable hydrogels derived from chitosan and gelatin to treat water and remove contaminants. Their work has been published online in the journal Polymers this week.
