Phase change materials (PCMs) offer great potential for realizing zero-energy thermal management due to superior thermal storage and stable phase-change temperatures. However, liquid leakage and solid ...
The use of macro cross-linkers is one of the most effective approaches for developing tough hydrogels. However, the presence of uneven cross-linking and the resulting hydrogel inhomogeneity restrict ...
Polymeric membranes are widely used in separation technologies due to their low cost and easily scalable fabrication. However, unlike inorganic nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks ...
A team of international researchers has developed a new class of ultrathin polymer membranes that can rapidly and selectively ...
MIT chemists have achieved a breakthrough in polymer science that could transform everyday plastics from brittle to bulletproof, using a counterintuitive approach that makes materials stronger by ...
A research team has developed a next-generation display core material with excellent stretchability and superior color reproduction. The team developed a high-performance color-conversion layer that ...
Dual cross-linked polymer design enables soft artificial muscles with record work density and strain
A dual cross-linked magnetic polymer solves the fundamental trade-off limiting soft artificial muscles, achieving unprecedented combinations of stretchability, force output, and shape-programming ...
With help from a novel cross-linking molecule, MIT chemists have shown they can substantially improve the ballistic impact resistance of common polymers, including polystyrene and a type of rubber ...
