Novel star block copolymers containing poly(N-vinylimidazolium salt) as a poly(ionic liquid) segment and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAAm)) as a ...

Epoxy resin is one of the most important resins and has been widely used for various industry products, such as adhesives, coatings and moldings. Many types of epoxy resins with different properties ...

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

Polyoxymethylene is made in both homopolymer and copolymer forms, which are not very different from each other. Both are tough, hard, stiff polymers with good appearance (can give high surface gloss) ...

Flexible, stretchable electronics—a concept that until recently seemed radical—is starting to turn objects such as clothing into powerful gadgets. These devices, which could monitor and relay ...

Urinary tract catheters are widely used in hospitalized patients, but they often lead to bacterial infections. Researchers have now developed a biocompatible copolymer that could prevent bacteria from ...

When drugs are encapsulated, electrification (the electrostatic charge of the capsule) may sometimes cause problems, such as capsule adhesion during transportation or dispersion of the capsule content ...
