Double helical covalent polymers—which are spiraling collections of nature’s building blocks—are fundamental to life itself, and yet, despite decades of research, scientists have never been able to ...

They present a straightforward one-pot, mild, and catalyst-free polycondensation strategy via dynamic imine chemistry along with the combination of low-cost and promising ambient pressure drying to ...

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

Solvay, a global market leader in specialty materials, has expanded its range of FusePly® chemical bonding technology with a second product, FusePly ® 250, designed to bond composite structures at ...

Imagine a polymer with removable parts that can deliver something to the environment and then be chemically regenerated to function again. Or a polymer that can lift weights, contracting and expanding ...

An illustration of a potential use for the new material. A key goal of the research is to design a material that will protect structures such as orbiting satellites and vehicles in space, with ...
