Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...
