Polymers

Study explains the macroscopic mechanical behavior of elastomers filled with liquid inclusions

Bilayer-folded lamellar mesophase induced by random polymer sequence

This development will facilitate advanced applications in printed circuit boards and other technologies

Research, development, and quality control

Research has major implications for polymer engineering and provides insight into natural soft materials

New findings enable first direct, real-time images of radiation-sensitive soft nanomaterials in organic solvents

The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions

Chemical recycling methods and the development of novel polymers can have a significant impact on global plastic waste

Polymers are being engineered for diverse products in our daily lives

University of Akron’s National Polymer Innovation Center helps industry leaders and labs understand next-gen materials and build new products
