Many useful bulk properties of solid materials such as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity are manifested when a material is highly ordered and lacks a center of symmetry. Achieving this level of ...

The authors review seven polymer classes that can be used to prepare solid-dispersion formulations. The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients lists several generally regarded as safe (GRAS) polymers ...

One of the most important frontiers in materials chemistry is the architectural control of synthetic materials on the nanometer-scale. Nanometer-scale architecture is primarily responsible for the ...

Dr. Zhe Qiang, an associate professor in the School of Polymer Science and Engineering at The University of Southern ...

Synthetic polymers have changed the world around us. However, It is hard to finely tune some of their properties, such as the ability to transport ions. To overcome this problem, researchers decided ...

Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even ...
