24. Strong adhesion of wet conducting polymers on diverse substrates

       Sometimes, the greatest Scientific discoveries come in the simplest way or try to fix the apparently smalest problems. In this study, the authors solve the adhesion between a conductive polymer and a substrate through an imaginative approach using an adhesive layer, two interpenetrating polymer nets and the swelling behaviour. We found it very engaging and we hope you do too.

15. Source, Extraction, Characterization, and Applications of Novel Antioxidants from Seaweed

Image
With this series of episodes, we jumped into the field of Reviews with a topic which has been increasing its relevance during the last years: Seaweed . Side by side, we realised that sometimes a single scientific publication was too much for a single podcast of Science Audio Articles. In the past, we split some of them sharing the methods section separately from the rest of the episode, but the next logical step was to face long reviews also. To make it easier for everyone, listeners and creators, we decided to share this one in three parts, but we feel this dynamic is here to stay.  On the other hand, this is the very first article we started working with. In these old times, we just started doing our work with the hearth and maybe we took a too huge paper for that, so unfortunately, this episode never came out of the drawer, until now. We have taken off the dirt and we have done this work again from the heart and with the head also. The only unanswered question we have is why did...

New Rhythm

Hello, it’s been a long time since the last post in the meta-section of the blog, so it’s time for a new one and also for explaining news about Polymers Audio Articles. The last few months have been chill, sharing podcasts every week as usual, but we chase more ambitious objectives, primarily with more interaction in social media creating community. There was also a personal milestone we wanted to achieve and we think it’s time to share it. In Polymers Audio Articles we pursue a continuous growth way. It is important to accomplish numbers of views, followers and those kinds of things that will rebound positively on the feedback we receive, but the mindset is to climb the mountain step by step, knowing there is no pick to crown, just a road to enjoy learning and avoiding obstacles . This is a very general explanation, but we also have concrete goals, for example, we thought since the beginning to concede ourselves the first year to just upload episodes and expand the content as much as...

47. Stereochemical Control Yields Mucin Mimetic Polymers

Mucus . Yes, this is basically the material studied in this article. They synthesize, modify, analyze, functionalize and play with a mucin mimetic polymer to research about the protection it provides against toxins . Take a listen to the episode, they deserve at least to take a listen to their work.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in ACS Central Science on 30 th march 2021 Austin G.
