TU/e and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz have signed a four-year cooperation agreement. With this agreement, both institutions significantly deepen their existing ...

One hundred years ago, in 1920, the German chemist Hermann Staudinger published his classic paper entitled "Über Polymerisation" ("On Polymerization"). In that paper, he proposed a chain structure for ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...

In the quest to design the next generation of materials for modern devices -- ones that are lightweight, flexible and excellent at dissipating heat -- a team of researchers made a discovery: ...

With rapid advances in high-throughput computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, polymer informatics is emerging as a promising tool to ensure breakthrough ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...

From ultra-sensitive sensors to shape-shifting implants, stimuli-responsive smart materials react reversibly to heat, light, stress, or pH. They could transform devices and therapies once issues in ...

As coastal cities deal with the twin challenges of subsidence and rising sea levels, collaborations between researchers on the coast and those inland will be essential to finding solutions. This ...
