An imaginative approach to polymer surface coating has produced a sustainable way to remove mercury from water – while providing a wide range of protection including for preventing metal corrosion and solvent damage of plastic PVC pipes.
A recent study published online in ACS Polymers at the end of last year has investigated the effects of solvent properties on the elasticity of electrospun polymers. The research has implications for the design of materials for use in fields such as wearable electronics and medical research.

In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers investigated the rheological characteristics of hydroxypropyl cellulose–derived filaments.
A new study by a team of researchers from China has explored the development of hydrogels with self-healing and luminescent properties. Their research has been published in the journal ACS Applied Polymer Materials.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers presented the development of aluminum (Al) platelet-based conductive plastics in a poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) - poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) polyester blend with co-continuous morphology.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers discussed the preparation of microporous wood-based activated carbon fiber and its utility for the removal of copper ions.
Besides climate change, which is mostly the result of our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, plastic pollution stands as one of the most critical environmental concerns of this decade. The sheer quantity of discarded and misplaced plastic is dealing irreparable damage to Earth's ecosystems, affecting our crops and contaminating our water supplies.
Globally, the disposal of food packaging is a massive reason behind environmental pollution. Over 350 million metric tons of plastic are generated yearly, and plastic forms 85% of the trash discarded in the oceans, according to reports.
Writing in Progress in Polymer Science, Korean scientists have presented a review paper aimed at helping to understand the fundamental science and engineering aspects of manufacturing water treatment membranes with poly(vinylidene fluoride), as well as current challenges and opportunities
