The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of a broad range of strategies used to pattern polymers. Intense interest in polymer patterning originated from the diversity of existing synthetic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Increasing the efficiencies of polymer-based solar cells while at the same time keeping production complexity and cost low will require the preparation of new classes of polymers ...

"What do you think about when you hear the word polymer?" asks curator Elizabeth Weinstein as she enters the Louisiana Art & Science Museum's Soupcon Gallery. Plastic, people say, and they're not ...

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

Of all the materials that might conceivably be used to store hydrogen gas, organic polymers would not seem, at first glance, to be promising candidates. Nonetheless, they are now being investigated to ...
