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 ...

Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

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 ...

The fifth ACS/FDA colloquium “The Bio of New Polymers: Biobased, Biodegradable, and Biosustainable” was held virtually on Thursday, October 12, 2023. This colloquium focused on the development of ...

Figuring out which combinations of materials will make the most effective polymers is a monumental and time-consuming task because the combinations are essentially endless. Researchers at Georgia Tech ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

My new elective course (under development) will introduce theoretical and practical principles for engineering polymer materials within the context electronics technology. Students will explore the ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

Biohybrid Solutions is pioneering a new approach to bioconjugate production using polymer-based protein engineering. This innovation allows more control, expands the available polymer library, and ...

Chemical engineering is a versatile program and one of the most broadly-based engineering disciplines. Its field of practice covers the development, design, and control of processes and products that ...
