Octopuses are the undisputed kings of camouflage. Whereas engineers have learned to mimic the colors, octopuses also match ...

To control color, the team sandwiched the polymer between two gold films. Light bounces off these films and interferes in ...

The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

(Nanowerk News) A new biomimetic approach to synthesising polymers will offer unprecedented control over the final polymer structure and yield advances in nanomedicine, researchers say. In a ...

Polymer scientists are making continuous efforts to manufacture products with appropriate characteristics for specific applications. The polymer's properties can be altered by tweaking the molecular ...
