Research authored by partners from the Bottle Consortium and published in Nature Communications this month aims to challenge ...

Thermoset polymers underpin many high-performance applications because covalent cross-linking yields stability, chemical resistance, and robust mechanics.

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to predict separation, processing to sculpt morphology, and compatibilizers to ...

Stevens’ associate professor, Pinar Akcora, has been named the lead of the National Science Foundation (NSF) supported study “Revealing Structure-Ionic Transport Relationship in Polymer-Ionic Liquid ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new gel electrolyte that both improves the lifetime and safety of ...

Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.

In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one component literally holds the power: the polymer capacitor. Seen in such ...
