Cargo delivery by polymers

Degradable, bio-based polymers offer options for chemical recycling, and they can be a tool to store and release useful molecules. Scientists have developed a class of sugar-based polymers that are degradable through acid hydrolysis. The researchers also integrated 'cargo' molecules in the polymer, which are designed to split off after polymer degradation.

Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics

Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a w...
