Researchers at Stanford University have developed a multilayered immiscible polymer system that can autonomously realign its layers to facilitate the healing process following damage.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Lab have designed hydrophobic perfluoropolyether (PFPE) polymers that can be applied in underwater conditions, at room temperature, without any solvent or curing steps, and can be reused and recycled.
Researchers at Stanford have reported the first high energy density shape memory polymer based on the formation of strain-induced supramolecular nanostructures, which immobilize stretched chains to store entropic energy.
