We are pleased to announce the winners of Rising Stars in Polymer Science 2023 as young influential. Polymer Journal has been enriched by the complex of wonderfully talented and diverse groups of ...

Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade when they are no longer needed. Designing materials that satisfy both ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new polymer design that appears to rewrite the textbook on polymer engineering. No longer is it ...

Polymer property prediction is a critical task in polymer science. Conventional approaches typically rely on a single data modality or a limited set of modalities, which constrains both predictive ...

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...

Polymer chemistry is transforming industries, from sustainable materials to biomedicine. Over his decades as a professor of materials, chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, Craig Hawker’s ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

Each semester the student is required to attend and participate in the chemistry seminar/colloquium program CHEM.6010, 6020, 6030 and 6040. In addition, a master's candidate is required to present one ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...

Crude oil refining still relies heavily on thermal distillation, a process that separates hydrocarbons by repeated heating and phase changes. A new ...

The 32nd biennial meeting of the Polymer Physics Group, PAPS 2026, will be held in Nottingham in September 2026. This event provides an opportunity for researchers from both academia and industry to ...
