The ACS GCI Natural Polymers Consortium (NPC) is a group committed to exploring the utilization of natural polymers to accelerate the development of more sustainable functional materials. Launched in ...

It wasn’t too long ago—about a year for most materials—that the plastics industry was flying high. Demand was strong, supply was tight, and profits were fat. That changed abruptly. By the end of 2008, ...

Whether it’s a smartwatch that can detect irregular heartbeats or a continuous glucose monitor, electronics that can interface with biology have already started to revolutionize the future of ...

3-D printing could be transformative in healthcare by empowering clinicians to quickly create high-quality and affordable custom medical implants, but we need more resins that are biocompatible and ...

A multi-institutional team of chemists harnessed the power of a dangerous gas called SOF4 to create new modifiable polymers useful for drug discovery and material science. The team used a type of ...

Vinyl polymers have been the focus of intensive research over the past few decades and are attractive materials owing to their ease of synthesis and their broad diversity of architectures, ...

Abstracts are now being accepted for the 29th Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering (GC&E) Conference, hosted by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute. The conference will be held ...

"The individual attention and mentoring I received from the faculty enabled me to realize my full potential, both as a student and as a scientist," said Jonathan Stock ‘10, who earned his M.D. at the ...
