An Ehime University research team directed by H. Shimomoto and E. Ihara has developed a new molecular design strategy that ...

Researchers have created a high-performance polymer that can be chemically recycled without compromising its heat and chemical resistance. The revolutionary design includes a directing group that ...

The future of polymer innovation is being shaped by two transformative forces: artificial intelligence and sustainable materials design. Together, they are redefining how chemists discover, optimize, ...

What if polymer discovery could be accelerated with experiments, simulations, and AI continuously informing one another in a closed loop? Join Adam Gormley of Rutgers University and Plexymer, Inc. and ...

Plastics underpin much of modern life—areas like medicine, technology, and food safety would be unrecognizable without plastics and their useful properties. However, the toughness of plastics, which ...

New robust polymers that are chemically recyclable. Introducing a directing group enables catalytic cleavage of strong chemical bonds, allowing controlled degradation of robust polymers into monomers.
