Recent advances in fluid mechanics have demonstrated that the use of polymer solutions and surfactants can effectively reduce drag in turbulent flows. This phenomenon, which facilitates a decrease in ...

Recent research conducted by the Chemistry Department at the University of Liverpool has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of polymer science. Artistic rendering of a polymer chain ...

Polymers are occasionally treated in solutions for end-use in applications (where the polymer is dissolved in a solvent). Examples of this include spinning fibers and coating substrates with spin. The ...
