By the time Wrigley began his business venture, Americans had grown accustomed to chewing gum sold as candy-coated balls or ...

These examples have inspired scientists to fabricate ... independently reported synthetic polymer systems that behave as artificial muscles. Moore described how Nafion films undergo anisotropic ...

This breakthrough in synthetic materials is very useful wherever polymers are used as a barrier that is soluble, for example in hospital laundry bags for washing soiled linen. Biopol is a ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone ...

While these interactions are known to play critical roles in biological processes such as enzyme catalysis and ion transport, research exploring their application in synthetic polymers remains scarce.

However, there is a shortage of recyclable polymers that meet the performance requirements. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team has introduced a new class of polymers called ...
