Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

A nanocomposite combines two or more materials – of which at least one is a nanomaterial – with different physical and chemical properties. Nanocomposite materials are designed to exhibit properties ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

The molecular weight (MW) is the total atomic weight of a molecule. The MW is determined by summing the mass of all of the individual atoms in a molecule. The molecular weight of a polymer is directly ...
