Researchers have identified a key flaw in safer battery materials that limits how efficiently ...

Many important technologies, from handheld phones to medical devices and transportation vehicles, rely on rechargeable ...

Anyone who has owned a smartphone for over a year is most likely aware that its built-in lithium (Li)-ion battery does not hold as much charge as when the device was new. The degradation of Li-ion ...

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 ...

A recently developed block copolymer could help push the limits of integration and miniaturization in semiconductor manufacturing, report scientists. Chemically tailored for reliable directed ...

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 ...

Made in both copolymer and homopolymer forms which do not greatly differ. Both are tough, hard, stiff polymers with exceptional abrasion resistance and good appearance (can provide high surface gloss) ...

Researchers have demonstrated that they can attract, capture and destroy PFAS - a group of federally regulated substances found in everything from nonstick coatings to shampoo and nicknamed 'the ...

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 ...
