A research team, led by Professor Dong Woog Lee from the Department of Chemistry at UNIST, in collaboration with Professor Byeong-Su Kim from the Department of Chemistry at Yonsei University, has ...

Scientists have developed the first cells that can construct artificial polymers from building blocks that are not found in nature, by following instructions the researchers encoded in their genes.

Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply ...

Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

While natural polymers, including starches and cellulose, are still commonly used in biomedical research, the utilization of synthetic biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical and tissue-engineering ...

With this in mind, it has become crucial to investigate flame retardants for plastics. The goal is to improve the material's resistance to fire and reduce the heat release and flame spreading speed.

Polymer-based gene delivery systems represent a promising class of non-viral vectors, offering significant advantages in safety, structural versatility, biodegradability, and the potential for ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) and polyalphaolefin (PAO) are two synthetic lubricant options for industrial applications. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each can help end-users decide ...
