Polymers Audio Articles

          We are so proud of sharing this article from a recommendation of a follower. We also open a tag “Self-assembly” which is always exciting. In the article, the authors explore the idea of copying biological structures by forcing polymeric molecules to bond to each other in a certain way. Take a listen to the podcast because the approach is simple but genius.

     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.

          We have bet hard with this episode. We share an entire review about wearable biosensors such as contact lenses , tattoos and clothes , which have received a huge contribution by the polymers in order to make them portable and suitable for energy storage . Take a listen to it, we are sure you will discover some applications before they become mainstream.

          Just wow! This is the definition that comes to our minds reading this paper. The author took a very simple idea and twisted it into a wide field of research and application. The approach has the novelty touch because there are not too many crossovers out there between bricks of construction and conductive polymers , but Science never stops surprising the world. We hope you enjoy this podcast and maybe discover a new use of PEDOT.

As you have probably noticed, the Sciences Audio Article’s Team is very interested in the research field of polymers . This has an easy explanation, that this is one of the topics they were specialized in, so the group is trying to keep updated and to expand their polymers knowledge. In this article, the authors face one long term challenge of Science, the creation of conductive hydrogels for biomechanical applications using a single component instead of mixtures of polymeric nets. This is a big step in that direction, we hope you like the work.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Pure PEDOT:PSS hydrogel printed in a pattern for a bioelectronic application Published in Nature Communications on  5 th March 2019  Baoyang Lu, Hyunwoo Yuk, Shaoting Lin, Nannan Jian, Kai Qu, Jingkun Xu & Xuanhe Zhao DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09003-5
