One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

Over the past 40 years, electroactive polymers have found their way into electronics such as transistors, batteries, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells. Built from conjugated building blocks, ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...
