Britain may be considering switching plastic cash, but some countries have been using polymer for years. Australia Australia was the first country to go purely plastic in 1996, beginning with the ...

The authors review seven polymer classes that can be used to prepare solid-dispersion formulations. The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients lists several generally regarded as safe (GRAS) polymers ...

This article discusses the identification of polymers such as ABS, PE, PS, PET, and PMMA in various dyes using Raman spectroscopy. Rapid and non-destructive identification is achieved once a suitable ...

A recent article in Nature Communications presented a polymer-aqueous electrolyte for stabilizing polymer electrode redox products by modulating the solvation layers and developing a solid-electrolyte ...

Polymer brushes are made up of continuous monomers that are attached to an interface by one chain link at a sufficiently high density for the polymers to extend outward from the substrate. These ...

Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a recent study suggests that as they age, such coatings may trigger a cycle of ...

Making DIY clay magnets is easier than you think. Kids and adults alike will love making this easy polymer clay craft idea for their fridge! Oven bake clay is so easy to work with that even young ...
