Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Four more companies have joined an industry task force that the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has convened to improve the sustainability of a ubiquitous, $125 billion class of ‘forgotten’ polymers.

Today’s lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes that can catch fire if a battery overheats. Solid electrolytes made of nonflammable polymers and ceramics are safer, but their performance isn’t ...

Liquid-Crystal Polymer Meets the Challenges of RF Power Packaging The plastic air-cavity packages are hermetically sealed using a proprietary process A material used in a proprietary process addresses ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light ...
