He organized a collaborative research group on gellan gum in the Research Group on Polymer Gels in the Society of Polymer Science, Japan, and has been a recipient of the JSFST, JSR and JSBR awards and ...

The Marks group has chemists and engineers working on waste polymer deconstruction and recycling, solar energy, and efficient hydrocarbon utilization. The Olvera de la Cruz group develops models to ...

Materials such as bone and wood are extremely performant: although they are made from soft biological polymers, they are strong — and hence allow humans and trees to stand upright — because ...

Many synthetic polymers are produced and utilised because they are resistant to chemical and physical degradation. Synthetic polymers were developed for durability and resistance to all forms of ...

Polymer scientists are working to develop new technologies to augment and support game-changing treatments like gene therapy and 3-D printed implants so that our bodies can safely tolerate their ...

Polyesters occur naturally as biological polymers, but can also be made artificially. Man-made polymers are often used in clothing. Polyesters are an example of a condensation polymer. A simple ...

This study reveals a novel bioactive polycysteine polymer with high quantum yield and multicolor emission, showing promise ...

Scientists have been working to develop a material to connect biological tissue with an electronic device for quite some time—such a material would allow for medical implants that would not be ...

Oxford University researchers have made a significant step toward realizing a form of "biological electricity" that could be ...

Fundamental aspects of polymer rheology, including the theory of linear viscoelasticity, measurement of fundamental flow properties, constitutive equations, the kinetic- molecular theories of ...
