It has always been evident that one can have a metal or a plastic, but not both, in one. However, a Chinese research team has recently described a polymer with a metallic backbone that is thermally ...

A South Korean research team has, for the first time, uncovered the molecular-level mechanism by which trace amounts of impurities—known as dopants—can reverse charge polarity in organic polymer ...

Researchers have generated synthetic mucins with a polymer backbone that more accurately mimics the structure and function of naturally occurring mucins. They also showed that these synthetic mucins ...

Polypyrrole, poly(phenylacetylene), poly(p-phenylene sulfide), poly(p-phenylene), polythiophene, polyfuran, polyaniline, polycarboxylate, and its derivatives are some ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...
