A new approach to strengthen polymer gels has been developed by changing the length of polymer “thread” per molecular “bead”. Research team develops new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing ...

Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have made major progress in the production of two-dimensional polymer-based materials. To produce cloths from monomolecular threads, the ...

Embryonic stem cells can survive being spun into polymer threads – a technique that could be used to weave flexible synthetic tissues able to adapt to any transplant environment, say UK biophysicists.
