Scientists have created a new family of polymers capable of killing bacteria without inducing antibiotic resistance -- a major step in the fight against superbugs like E. coli and MRSA.

The most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon–carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which ...

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. There are natural and synthetic polymers, including proteins and rubber, and glass and epoxies.

Turbulence, the chaotic, irregular motion that causes the bumpiness we sometimes experience on an airplane, has intrigued ...

Polymers are both naturally occurring and man-made. Learn more and explore polymers with ECHO’s Science Spotlight activity you can do at home.

In your undergraduate program, you’ll master the foundations of polymers through 90 credit hours and specialize in one of two tracks: traditional polymer engineering or biomaterials. You’ll then build ...

The articles listed below published by authors from Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P), organized by journal and article, represent the research output in Count and Share according ...

My research focuses on the degradation of blended polymers provided by the Packaging Science Department at RIT. These blended polymers are made with polycaprolactone (a slow-degrading synthetic ...
