Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

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 ...

Driving the future of materials. Explore how the POLY Division is pushing the boundaries of polymer innovation to tackle the world’s toughest challenges, from sustainable materials and advanced ...

Scientists developing new biomaterials often try to mimic the body's natural proteins, but a chemist shows that simpler polymers -- based on a handful of plastic building blocks -- also work well.

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered a new class of polymers as part of the work carried out within the ...

A collaboration of scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham has explored a more effective ...

The global bio-based polymers market is experiencing unprecedented growth, expanding over four times faster than the overall polymer market. Driven by stringent regulations on single-use plastics and ...

The ACS GCI Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC) is a group committed to exploring the utilization of natural polymers to accelerate the development of more sustainable functional materials. Launched in ...
