At present, 3D printing is an increasingly widespread and accessible technology, typically involving the formation of solid polymeric materials in a specific region, either by extruding pre-formed ...

Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

This illustration shows the C1 polymer formation, where the Pd-catalyst (red spere) is linearly combining a number of diazoacetate monomers (transparent sphere) to form the polymer main chain. For ...

A soft polymer that hardens on impact uses force-activated molecules to rewire its own structure, achieving record stiffness and 97% force reduction.

Scientists developed a new photopolymerisation reaction controlled antagonistically by two different colours of light. Specifically, one light beam promotes the formation of the polymeric material, ...
