A biomimetic tissue substitute based on a dense polymer film combines precisely tunable mechanical properties with biological ...

Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade when they are no longer needed. Designing materials that satisfy both ...

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

Bi-polymer glove coatings improve grip, durability and dexterity, reducing risk and enhancing performance in demanding work environments.

Researchers have developed a molecule that, when added to a polymer, increases the material’s durability by making it more like metal in terms of its ability to withstand temperature fluctuations.

In hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyte membranes frequently undergo deformation and develop cracks during operation. A research team has recently introduced a fatigue-resistant polymer electrolyte ...

A polyethylene formulation infused with a proprietary, carbon-based material significantly reduces weight while maintaining product strength and durability. The LytR polymer composite developed by ...
