A novel Fe-Co wire/polymer composite is presented which is developed for the first time by embedding continuous Fe-Co wires in an epoxy matrix.
High refractive index hyperbranched polymers
High refractive index (HRI) materials play an important role in optic-electronic devices. They can be widely applied as encapsulating materials to increase external quantum efficiency in OLED devices and to enhance conversion efficiency in solar cell devices....
On the randomness and blockiness of copolymers
Canadian researchers demonstrate the importance of randomness for the phase behavior of block copolymers.
Polymer discs convert heat to electricity
Shannon Yee and co-workers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have synthesized semiconducting polymer complexes with nickel centres.
2016 Chemistry Nobel Prize: How Molecular Machines Benefit Polymer Science (and vice versa)
Modern chemical designers are often inspired by Nature as well as by man-made objects – think of the classical analogy between molecular building blocks and LEGO bricks, the lock and key principle, etc. This year’s chemistry Nobel laureates have certainly been inspired by a bit of both.

Biosensing with Polymer-Graphene Nanocomposites
So-called “biosensors” are sensors that detect or quantify biomolecules, such as glucose, proteins, or DNA.
Stability in Polymeric Micelles – Make it a Better Nanomedicine
A recently published feature article discusses the reasons for the poor targeting efficiency via polymeric micelles, and the approaches that have been explored to tackle this problem.
