The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

As coastal cities deal with the twin challenges of subsidence and rising sea levels, collaborations between researchers on the coast and those inland will be essential to finding solutions. This ...

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

Whether natural or synthetic, polymers — large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers — exhibit complex structures and properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications.

The Polymer Science doctoral program is designed to provide students with a background in advanced course work and laboratory techniques that will prepare them to carry out an original investigation ...
