Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at—or rather, through—a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But ...

A self-propagating chemical reaction can transform a liquid monomer into a solid polymer and the interaction between the propagating front and the reaction’s natural convection leads to patterns in ...

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method for producing new macromolecules with improved properties by modifying the polymers in discarded plastics.

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

These applications put forward stringent fabrication requirements, including dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, and surface roughness. Two-photon lithography is a versatile technique capable of ...
