In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers reported the development of oil-removing absorbents made of highly reusable, biomimetic, and hydrophobic graphene/polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofiber aerogels.
Vehicles and equipment launched into space require advanced materials with enhanced properties to withstand the rigours of outer space. Exploring the potential of carbon reinforced polymers for use in space, a research paper has been published which has been included in Recent Advances in Manufacturing Processes and Systems.
In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Polymer Materials, researchers constructed three sensing materials based on luminescent conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with truxene (Tx) cores for highl...
In a recent study published in the journal Polymers, researchers from China demonstrated a new method to recycle the waste produced by the rubber industry.
A team of scientists from India, Bangladesh, the Czech Republic, and Korea have presented research into using polymer composites with quantum dots to develop supercapacitors.
Microplastics and microparticles are harmful pollutants which can cause health issues in city populations. In a new study, scientists have investigated the concentration of microplastics in road dust in Goyang city, South Korea.
The rapid growth in plastic use, waste, and environmental damage in recent decades has facilitated the search for more sustainable alternatives which are repeatedly recyclable and healable. Publishing in ACS Materials Le...
Plastic waste is a growing issue due to population growth, rapid urbanization, and industrial activities. Valorizing plastic waste is crucial to reduce the environmental harm caused by human activities, and one potential valorization route is using plastic waste as a material in pavements.
Researchers in Poland have developed an innovative elastomer for use in heart assistance devices, with the results of their research demonstrating good potential for its use in medical applications.
A paper in Polymers, published this week, has investigated the properties of soil enhanced with biopolymers. Whilst there has been growing research interest in soil engineering with biopolymers, thus far there has been little engineering application for these materials to enhance the properties of soil. This research has implications for research into the improvement of soils for construction purposes.
