Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...
Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...
Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

Polymers that crawl like worms: How materials can develop direction without being told where to go
Researchers at the University of Vienna have uncovered a surprising phenomenon: polymer chains with segments that simply ...
Scientists have developed photoresponsive supramolecular polymers that can undergo both intrachain folding and interchain aggregation. The material properties of polymers are determined by the ...
A controlled/“living” click polymerization method developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally limited to ...
Densely packed polymer chains can spontaneously start moving in one direction, even without being pushed, a finding that could explain DNA behavior and inspire new smart materials.
