Macromolecular Symposia backfiles – 25 years of conference proceedings – are now available to access.
Month: February 2012
First Large-Scale Science Collaboration between China and Germany
Multilevel Molecular Assemblies: Scientists in China and Germany are working together to make efficient tools out of molecular assemblies.
Advanced Polymers in Medicine
Proceedings from the Advanced Functional Polymers for Medicine conference, held in the Netherlands in June 2011, have now been published.
Surviving in the Wild with Silk: Collecting Water with Nanostructured Nylon
Scientists make artificial spider silk from polymer-coated nylon, which can collect water from the atmosphere with astonishing efficiency.
Producing Nanomaterials via Laser Ablation
Professor Weiping Cai and co-workers have investigated the laser ablation/irradiation in liquid technique for producing nanomaterials.
Spotlight on skin barrier function
Transepidermal water loss measurement is the standard method to characterize epidermal barrier function. However, it can be affected by a broad range of exogenous and endogenous factors – in vivo laser scanning microscopy may be a superior method.
Rolling Titanium into Scrolls: New Microstructures for Medical Implants
A group of researchers examined a new method for creating 3D micro-architectured Ti structures and found an attractive combination of stiffness, strength, and ductility.
Flexible Paper Robots
Researchers have developed inexpensive robots that can stretch, bend and twist under control, and lift objects 120 times their own weight.
A Living Cartilage Scaffold
Professor Dong-An Wang and co-workers seek to revolutionize cartilage surgery through the development of a new type of surgical graft.
Hard Carbon for Lithium-ion Secondary Batteries
Japanese companies target the future market for Lithium-ion batteries. Kureha, Kuraray, and Itochu jointly developed and commercialized a new hard carbon material called “Biocarbotron”.
