Polylactides: A New Paradigm in Polymer Science

In past several decades, extensive research has been performed regarding the possibilities of using renewable resources for the production of chemicals and fuels instead of fossil resources, which will eventually become rare and therefore expensive. Increasing the use of materials based on renewable resources for packaging and other applications not only holds significant advantages in economic...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in polymer science

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a well-established technique for studying dynamic processes and interactions with minimal invasion into the corresponding system. Even though FCS has been mainly applied to biological systems, within the last 15 years an increasing number of studies in material sciences have appeared, demonstrating its enormous potential also for this field. Apart ...

Polymer Science Introduction to Fibre Science and Rubber Technology

Polymer science applied to petroleum production*

The science of polymers, more specifically, synthesis, characterization, and physicochemical properties in solutions, has wide application in the petroleum industry, which uses polymers as components of fluids or additives to correct problems that affect oil production and/or increase production costs. Polymers are utilized during all phases, from drilling to treatment of oil and water. Researc...
