The ACS GCI Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC) is a group committed to exploring the utilization of natural polymers to accelerate the development of more sustainable functional materials. Launched in ...

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 ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional ...

He’s a wizard in his field of chemistry, but his work could also be described using artistic or architectural terms. Nikos Hadjichristidis has pioneered the synthesis of strikingly unusual polymers.

The goal of the graduate program is to educate incoming students in the theory and practice of polymer science. As a student in our program, you will receive valuable training for a future career in ...

Scientists create polymer chains that bind single metal atoms to uniform sites, advancing efficient, stable next-gen ...

It wasn’t too long ago—about a year for most materials—that the plastics industry was flying high. Demand was strong, supply was tight, and profits were fat. That changed abruptly. By the end of 2008, ...

AKRON—The University of Akron is giving its students the opportunity to build a strong foundation in the polymer industry as it becomes the first public university in Ohio to offer an undergraduate ...

From heat-resistant engineering plastics to sequence-encoded polypeptides, scientists are redefining what modern polymers can do, and how they’re made.

John Rabolt, the Karl. W. and Renate Böer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and D. Bruce Chase, a research professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, both at the ...
