Finding the next groundbreaking polymer is always a challenge, but now researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to shape and transform the future of the field. Nylon, Teflon, Kevlar. These ...

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based strategy to predict and assess ...

A safety-level-oriented framework is proposed to systematically classify polymer-based flexible health-monitoring devices from noninvasive to long-term implantable modalities. Material–safety ...

The scientific community has long believed that polymers—very large molecules—are too big to migrate out of products into people and therefore pose no health risks. As a result, polymers have largely ...

If you gave the average American a plastic toothbrush and asked them to describe where its materials came from and how it was made, they would most likely be at a loss for an answer. Though we’ve come ...
