Researchers are using the unique contraction and expansion properties of shape memory polymer foam to design a much improved treatment for brain aneurysms, which cause severe neurological damage or ...

Polymers -- the essential component of plastics -- are found in countless commercial, medical, and industrial products. Polymers that are porous are called foam polymers and are especially useful ...

Vascular systems found in trees transport vital nutrients from root, to branch, to leaf. In a new study, researchers have developed a chemical process to mimic this arboreal architecture in foamed ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many everyday ...

In a paper recently published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, researchers explored the factors required to prepare an efficient ferrofluid (FF) high internal phase emulsion polymer ...

Solid foams are structures containing gaseous voids enclosed by a denser solid matrix such as metals, alloys or polymers. Their high strength-to-weight ratios and ability to stay intact under high ...

One undergraduate’s modeling career began in the science lab rather than the art studio. A likeness of his nose demonstrates the value of a new polymer foam for growing cells into tissues. Researchers ...

Conducting polymers have emerged as a pivotal class of materials for advanced optoelectronic applications owing to their tunable molecular structure, ...
