With this in mind, it has become crucial to investigate flame retardants for plastics. The goal is to improve the material's resistance to fire and reduce the heat release and flame spreading speed.

Whether natural or synthetic, polymers — large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers — exhibit complex structures and properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications.

Illinois professor Ying Diao led a multi-institutional study that positions synthetic polymers as a potential alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals for use in semiconductors and other ...

According to SNS Insider, the Synthetic Absorbable Sutures Market growth is driven by Advancements in polymer technology, growing demand for predictable wound healing, and expanding global healthcare ...

While the group is concerned about contamination from synthetic polymers broadly, it’s open to evaluating individual ...

Polymer-based gene delivery systems represent a promising class of non-viral vectors, offering significant advantages in safety, structural versatility, biodegradability, and the potential for ...

Today, most companies’ gum base is a proprietary blend of synthetic and natural ingredients: If a packet lists “gum base” as an ingredient, that gum most likely contains synthetic polymers. The FDA ...

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 ...

The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...
