A new design by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science could solve the ...

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness.

These "foldable bottlebrush polymer networks" could pave the way for materials that are both robust and highly flexible.

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science created a new design that seems to ...
