Following numerous experiments, the researchers developed a new model to predict the microscopic structure of the materials as well as their properties. Polymers are long-chain molecules.

As electronics demand higher energy density, one component has proved challenging to shrink: the capacitor. Making a smaller ...

CSIRO Manufacturing and Materials Technology, through its spin-off company Ceram Polymerik (Waverley Gardens, Australia), has commercialized what it claims to be the first polymer that in a blaze will ...

Figure 5. alpha-Lipoic acid glycine amide reacts with another molecule in its open ring to form a thioester, forming the polymer's backbone. Unlike the "natural" polymers in Figure 4, these are not ...
