Ring-shaped polymers solidify into glass, offering sustainable material potential
89% Informative
A new discovery about how ring-shaped polymers behave offers the potential to enable new ways for polymer scientists to design more sustainable materials.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon , Sandia National Laboratories , and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have conducted the largest simulation to date on this type of polymer.
The research also has implications for the behavior of biopolymer systems like folded proteins.
