Polymer Science
Bottom-Up Meets Top-Down for Simple Surface Stripes
A simple way to create very small patterns on a surface by using a mixture of top-down and bottom-up technology has been developed. Self-assembly is combined with evaporation to make highly ordered nanoscale structures.
Polymersomes Produced by Microfluidics
A new polymer-based microfluidic device capable of producing tiny polymer-based capsules continuously without clogging.
Brushes Grown on Brushes
How to make one layer of polymer brushes on top of another layer by using a simple chemical initiator method…
Bioinspired Materials: Bridging the Gap between Polymer Science and Life Sciences
