A semiconductor made of synthetic polymer such as an LED or transistor. Such "conjugated polymers" are a plastic material that changes from being an insulator to a semiconductor after being doped.

Study by US scientists, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also found that dementia patients had up to 10 times as ...

The possibilities for material design and production of plastic components are being expanded through 3D printing technology. However, there is a shortage of recyclable polymers that meet the ...

The researchers even saw the same result with bacteria in synthetic polymers. Although the initial motivation for the study was to better understand the growth of infections in patients with ...

and that other synthetic polymers behave similarly. The present communication describes effects observed with polyethylene and polyamides.

Kevlar is a new synthetic polymer which is extremely strong and light. The polymer chains are rigid and they pack together in sheets making Kevlar very strong. It can be used in aircraft wings ...
