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 ready for clinical use, the researchers said these membranes could be employed to form biosensors tha...
