Mix masters: Scientists image the molecular structure of polymer blends

Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 23:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Using an enhanced form of 'chemical microscopy', researchers have shown that they can peer into the structure of blended polymers, resolving details of the molecular arrangement at sub-micrometer levels. The capability has important implications for the design of industrially important polymers like the polyethylene blends used to repair aging waterlines.
