A recent study reveals how poly(octadecyl methacrylate) polymer brushes undergo reversible thermal transitions, enabling ...

Dr. Andreas Fery at the IPF and defended in 2023 at the TU Dresden. Stimuli-responsive polymers—often referred to as smart materials—possess the remarkable ability to reversibly alter their ...

In every scientific discovery in the movies, a scientist observes something unexpected, scratches the side of his or her ...

A squishy, layered material that dramatically transforms under pressure could someday help computers store more data with ...

Editor: I read a recent letter criticizing Congressman Rob Bresnahan and felt compelled to share a different experience. When I reached out to Congressman Bresnahan’s office with my own concerns ...

Scientists can continue to find innovative polymer research in our existing journal, Polymer Chemistry, and discover interdisciplinary, application-focused work in RSC Applied Polymers. Together, ...

We diffused photosynthetic cyanobacteria into a temperature-responsive polymer postpolymerization, circumventing its toxic precursor to create an ELM responsive to temperature, with the potential to ...
