New polymers for applications in nanopatterning and nanolithography
The Cidetec Technological Centre continues to invest in nanotechnology development with its participation in the European NAPA (Emerging Nanopatterning Methods) project. The research institution is directing a working subgroup to develop new thermoplastic polymers for applications in nanopatterning and nanolithography. view more (2005-04-19)
From 2-D blueprint, material assembles into novel 3-D nanostructures
An international team of scientists affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center has coaxed a self-assembling material into forming never-before-seen, three-dimensional nanoscale structures, with potential applications ranging from catalysis and chemical separation to semiconductor manufacturing. view more (2006-01-30)
Sandia experimental package of piezoelectric films to be part of NASA space station experiment
For the past three years a Sandia research team headed by Mat Celina has been investigating the performance of various piezoelectric polymer films that might one day serve as ultra-light mirrors in space telescopes. view more (2006-08-10)
Virginia Tech chemists create new polymers by adding DNA base pairs
Chemists at Virginia Tech are creating new polymers by adding DNA base pairs. Attributes include improved stretchable behavior and self-healing polymer films and coatings. view more (2006-09-13)
Plastic-Protein Hybrids
Functional membrane proteins in a block copolymer matrix Biological membranes form a fluid matrix, in which proteins "swim". Many of these membrane proteins are of interest for both pharmacological and biotechnological applications - for example, they are under consideration as biosensors for the rapid screening of pharmaceutical agents.... view more...

New synthetic self-assembling macromolecules mimic nature
We take "self-assembly" for granted when it is carried out by the biopolymers which are our hair, teeth, or skin. But when scientists devise new ways for molecules to self assemble into new materials, it is an important achievement. view more (2007-03-20)
Groundbreaking biomedical researchers receive £395,000
Internationally leading biomedical research at the University of Sussex involving the development of anti-cancer drugs and gene therapy applications has been boosted by a £395,519 grant. The funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) was made to chemistry professors Norman Billingham and Steven Armes, whose... view more... (2003-03-13)
NIST team develops novel method for nanostructured polymer thin films
All researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) wanted was a simple, quick method for making thin films of block copolymers or BCPs (chemically distinct polymers linked together) in order to have decent samples for taking measurements important to the microelectronics industry. view more (2007-09-17)
Plastics that resemble PVC - without chlorine
Even non-chemists know at least the abbreviations of those nasty substances: DDT is a highly persistent insecticide, CFCs used as propellants and refrigerants destroy atmospheric ozone, and PVC stands for plastics often regarded with suspicion. Add PCBs and PCP to this cocktail, and you can't help wondering why industry doesn't simply stop using... view more... (2003-05-22)
Carnegie Mellon U. chemists advance organic semiconductor processing
Any machinist will tell you that a little grease goes a long way toward making a tool work better. And that may soon hold true for plastic electronics as well. view more (2007-06-27)
Historians help compile record of 50,000 lives
Scholars at the University of Essex have contributed 75 biographies to the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a 60-volume publication charting more than 50,000 lives. Researchers from six departments and centres at the University were among more than 12,500 contributors to the British Academy-funded project. view more (2005-02-01)
Self-assembling polymer arrays improve data storage potential
A new manufacturing approach holds the potential to overcome the technological limitations currently facing the microelectronics and data-storage industries, paving the way to smaller electronic devices and higher-capacity hard drives. view more (2008-08-15)
New Chlorine-Tolerant, Desalination Membrane Hopes to Boost Access to Clean Water
A chemical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin is part of a team that has developed a chlorine-tolerant membrane that should simplify the water desalination process, increasing access to fresh water and possibly reducing greenhouse gases. view more (2008-07-23)
Pluronic L-81 is a potential anti-diabetic drug?
Pluronic surfactants are synthetic copolymers based on ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. view more (2009-07-08)
Berkeley Researchers Find New Route to Nano Self-Assembly
If the promise of nanotechnology is to be fulfilled, nanoparticles will have to be able to make something of themselves. An important advance towards this goal has been achieved by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) who have found a simple and yet powerfully robust way to induce... view more...
