Kimia Amir-Moazami is hoping to tackle the issue of food waste with Vorkoster, a container system that reveals if something is safe to eat or not.

Food packaging has a number of key roles. Firstly, it aims to keep food safe from its environment, so it doesn’t get dirty or contaminated. Secondly, it makes it more convenient to transport. Thirdly, it can serve to extend food shelf life. It is this third purpose that combats a range of causes of food decay, and must use a range of materials.

Polymers have become an integral part of our daily lives, encompassing a wide range of materials from plastic bottles to synthetic fibers. However, have you ever pondered the fate of these polymers over time?

While recycling programs have made significant progress in reducing the landfilling of plastic waste, large quantities of plastic are still being placed into landfills and a significant amount of plastic ends up in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other waterways, resulting in devastating effects on the e

Hydrogels With Fine-toothed Molecular Combs may Make Long-lasting Glucose-monitoring Implants by Iswarya on  December 10, 2020 at 3:23 PM Applied Polymer Materials. By including dangling, comb-type molecular chains within a type of hydrogel called poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) or poly NIPAAm for short, they showed that the membrane could prevent leakage of small-sized molecules, like the ones for glucose-sensing, while still allowing glucose to diffuse in and out freely. When r...
