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 ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Akron $660,421 to fund a program that examines semicrystalline polymers, a type of plastic used in everything from ...

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, ...

Dr. Mark Robertson, a recent graduate of The University of Southern Mississippi’s (USM) School of Polymer Science and Engineering, has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Science list for 2026.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed an ultrathin metalated polymer brush (Mt-PB) coating via in situ reduction of transition metal ions within surface-grafted polymer brushes. The resulting coating exhibits ...
