AGC’s Fluon+ Compounds are engineered to improve material properties and extend application reach.

The U.S. Military depends on state-of-the-art materials chemistry to create protective equipment and weaponized vehicles that leverage strong polymers and polymer composites to protect our service men ...

This counterintuitive finding challenges long-held assumptions that defects compromise material performance. Instead, it points to a promising new strategy for engineering polymer composites with ...

Soft materials and polymers are ubiquitous in our lives and form the basis of many advances in medicine, sustainability, manufacturing, and clean water access. What makes these materials unique is ...

nanostructured polymeric materials. The second area involves the design of monomers based on functional thermotropic LCs to control order, symmetry, and symmetry-based bulk properties in the final ...

Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

MAT_SCI 495 introduces the core topics and basic concepts of polymer chemistry for materials scientists and engineers. This course covers introductory topics in macromolecular structures and ...
