In modern times, manufacturers produce highly specialized materials for a wide array of uses, called polymers. Polymers have a variety of purposes owing to their versatile properties, ranging from ...
The crystallization process is initiated by a certain degree of cooling and begins with nucleation followed by growth. Heterogeneous nucleation is more common in polymers and can be accelerated by ...
Rheology is the analytical technique of choice in studying polymers as it can correlate the absolute flow and deformation characteristics of a specific product, in relation to its behavior towards a ...
When biological material (cells, blood, tissues) is frozen, cryoprotectants are used to prevent the damage associated with the formation of ice during the freezing process. New polymeric ...
Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies ...
The intricate shapes of snowflakes have long fascinated scientists, but water isn’t the only fluid that freezes into elaborate crystal structures. Polymers and metal alloys do the same. Now, ...
When biological material is frozen, cryoprotectants are used to prevent the damage associated with the formation of ice during the freezing process. New polymeric cryoprotectants are emerging, ...
Tau protein fibrillization mirrors polymer crystallization. The pathway taken as tau proteins form fibrils is very similar to the pathway taken by polymers as they crystallize. Tokyo, Japan – ...
Scientists have come up with a new technique to evaluate the mechanical forces generated in polymer crystallization as they cool down from their molten state. They used small, fluorescent molecules to ...
