The Polymer Innovation Network and the Polymer IRC are running a free workshop on Clever Polymers, for packaging and labelling applications especially, at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, from 10am on Tuesday March 17. After short introductory, open-ended presentations from the keynote speakers, the challenges and opportunities presented for smart polymers in packaging and […]
A multidisciplinary team from Sheffield including chemists, microbiologists and tissue engineers, has shown how state of the art polymer chemistry can be used to produce materials that can bind bacteria, sense their presence by luminescence and help remove them from wounds. This new technology, based on work by Ian Douglas, Sheila MacNeil, Steve Rimmer and […]
