If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...

Combining polymers in blends creates materials with tailored properties, improving toughness, chemical resistance, and thermal performance for industrial use.

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, ...

Detailed experiments provide new insights into the forces and mechanisms that influence polymer micelle formation and gelling ...

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to see. This is how an international team deciphered the role of water in the ...
