Polymer chemistry is transforming industries, from sustainable materials to biomedicine. Over his decades as a professor of materials, chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, Craig Hawker’s ...

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...

Researchers have developed two closely related polymers that respond differently to high and low temperature thresholds, despite their similar design. The polymer pair could be used in applications in ...

Each semester the student is required to attend and participate in the chemistry seminar/colloquium program CHEM.6010, 6020, 6030 and 6040. In addition, a master's candidate is required to present one ...

Prof. Jackson, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at UIUC, received the Kavli Foundation Emerging Leader in Chemistry Award for advancing AI-powered quantum modeling in polymer science. In this lecture, ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

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 ...

Faced with a budget shortfall, the University of Akron (UA) is proposing to merge its department of chemistry; department of chemical, biomolecular, and corrosion engineering; and School of Polymer ...

The 32nd biennial meeting of the Polymer Physics Group, PAPS 2026, will be held in Nottingham in September 2026. This event provides an opportunity for researchers from both academia and industry to ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...
