An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...
Emily Schöner Öffentlichkeitsarbeit Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e. V. The Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF) hosted its highly anticipated Annual Reception, “IPF ...
What if a complex material could reshape itself in response to a simple chemical signal? A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Edinburgh has shown that even small ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
From creating lightweight yet durable prosthetics to designing new types of solar panels and batteries, materials engineers combine their expertise in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering to ...
