Polymers Audio Articles

           SuperPlants! This is what the researchers of this article have created. They have developed a way to increase the photosynthetic efficiency of a plant by adding a polymer resulting in a better yield. Take a listen.

          Despite the relevance of body parameters for health, the development of monitoring systems has a big path to walk. In this article, the authors jump into a tattoo able to follow brain signals . This podcast dives deep in the mindset of the approach and discrives with great detail their study.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Methods  Published in NPJ Flexible Electronics on 17 th March 2020 Laura M.

           In this article the authors show a new type of batteries based on organic matter as an alternative to the classic models. They approach the idea by modifying conductive polymers with thiophene backbone and they also analyse their properties and processability. They achieve a stable battery , that supports a quick charge , with a good capacity , which allows the direct integration with a photovoltaic cell and that keeps its characteristic even at low temperatures . Take a listen to the podcasts.

     The magic that happens in the micro and nanoworld sometimes is linked with the “real” one. In this article, the authors research small machines with a novelty approach that tries to link two kinds of materials: a metal and a polymer . Take a look at the movements they achieve because they are crazy.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Nature Communications on 24 th November 2020 C. C.

          I n this article, the authors try to answer the question of where is the missing plastic in the ocean . Studies so far show that the majority of this plastic is in the sea bottom, but here they add another place where the wastes of our throw-away society end: the seagrass . Take a listen to this interesting explanation and the importance of the seaweed in the oceanic ecosystems.
