A research group has developed SPACIER, an advanced polymer material design tool that integrates machine learning with molecular simulations. As a proof of concept, the group successfully synthesized ...

Gene delivery is, arguably, the biggest bottleneck in gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the historical mainstay, but they are expensive to manufacture and have payload limits and ...

A study published in npj Computational Materials presents a new AI system that uses computer vision and language processing to interpret complex polymer–solvent interactions such as swelling, gelation ...

A team led by engineers has developed a biodegradable polymer system to treat rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, by working in concert with the power of the human immune ...

The voltage response of a conjugated polymer system is not fully understood. Jonathan Rivnay, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering; Ruiheng Wu, postdoctoral ...

Researchers recently announced that they have engineered a new class of material, called a 'polyzwitterionic complex,' or 'pZC,' which is able to both withstand the harsh acidic conditions of the ...

The future of polymer innovation is being shaped by two transformative forces: artificial intelligence and sustainable materials design. Together, they are redefining how chemists discover, optimize, ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

What is Polymer-Based Drug Delivery? Polymer drug delivery uses a device or a formulation that facilitates the incorporation of a therapeutic substance in the body. Polymers are used extensively for ...

Accella says that the acquisition further supports its strategy of building the leading polyurethane systems house in North America, with an even stronger presence on the West Coast. The combination ...
