Developing increasingly lighter and stronger alloys for engineering applications is an ongoing – and never ending – endeavour of materials scientists.
A novel probe for in vivo sialome imaging
Researchers in China have developed a novel probe for in vivo sialome imaging. Based on the click reaction the fluorophore is generated in situ.
Shaping up polyphosphazenes: star dendritic molecular brushes
In a new study, researchers from the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria, present for the first time a synthetic route to prepare polyphosphazenes with globular, highly branched morphologies (so called “star dendritic molecular brushes”) and controlled size.
Can Polymers Regenerate Teeth?
A common goal for tissue engineering has been finding a way to regenerate and repair the inflamed tissues.

Four outstanding young polymer scientists were awarded the 2016 Journal of Polymer Science poster prize for the Division of Polymer Physics (DPOLY) at the March American Physical Society (APS) meeting.
h-envy
Professor Ozin tackles one of the most popular metrics in modern science – the h-index.
Nanoparticles for biomedical applications
An international, interdisciplinary team is developing highly porous biomaterials for localised release of therapeutic ions and drugs
Hydrothermal Polymerization of Polyimides
Miriam Unterlass investigates benign alternative polymerization process yielding polymers that are typically only conceivable under harsh conditions.
Swiss-Army-Knife Approach to Surface Functionalization
Swiss researchers present a postmodification protocol of a polymer that allows the creation of a variety of surfaces for different applications.
Biofuntionalized hydrogels for tissue engineering
Micro-porous PEG hydrogels are functionalized with collagen type-I that has a selective response with human hepatocarcinoma cells.
