These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...

A recent Accenture study found that all regions around the world are growing in polymer consumption, although their focuses are different. Developed nations are focusing on adding value to existing ...

A semiconductor made of synthetic polymer such as an LED or transistor. Such "conjugated polymers" are a plastic material that changes from being an insulator to a semiconductor after being doped.

A rechargeable battery technology introduced in the late 1990s that stores less energy per pound than lithium-ion, but is more flexible. Lithium polymer (Li-Po) uses a gelatinous electrolyte rather ...
