A new technique builds inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes at the same time, in the same vessel. This 'one-pot' in-situ method creates a controlled, homogeneous blend, pairing the conductivity ...

Multicomponent polymer synthesis represents a transformative approach in modern macromolecular engineering. By incorporating three or more reactants in a single operational step, these techniques ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

Copper nanoparticles from beetroot extract enhance antimicrobial properties in polymer composites, offering a sustainable ...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology explored how flow fields generated by dynamic UV lighting can affect the photopolymerization process, demonstrating a novel and versatile method for ...

A scientist wears a lab coat and gloves and adjusts scientific instrumentation in a laboratory. Researchers have developed a strong ultrathin polymer membrane that totally stops gas molecules from ...
