An amorphous polymer demonstrates high performance without the disadvantages associated with semicrystalline materials and imidized thermosets. Inventing a polymer isn’t a feat accomplished overnight.

The researchers published their findings in Nature Communications ("Stöber method to amorphous metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers"). The Stöber method, traditionally used for creating ...

Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...
