Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...

Intrinsic structure of amorphous polymers is highly disorder with long molecular chains entangled with each other. They are usually considered as thermal insulator due to their ultra-low thermal ...

Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...

ICN2 Nanostructures Functional Materials (Nanosfun) Group develops robust nanoparticles based on coordination polymers for application on nanomedicine. A method to systematically control the surface ...

A polymer is a chemical compound that contains a large number of identical molecular repeating units. A plastic material is a polymer, typically modified with additives, which can be molded or shaped ...

These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...
