Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and porous organic polymers (POPs) have emerged as versatile materials that combine the precision of organic synthesis with the functionality of robust, porous ...

Normally, synthetic organic polymers are insoluble amorphous or polycrystalline products instead of single crystals. As far as polymer science and crystal engineering are concerned, the direct ...

A team led by Prof. Yan Lu, HZB, and Prof. Arne Thomas, Technical University of Berlin, has developed a material that enhances the capacity and stability of lithium-sulfur batteries. The material is ...

Advanced porous material and emerging technologies, including nanomaterials like porous organic polymers (POPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and porous ...

Reticular polymers are set to become a game-changer in materials science. They are highly porous, crystalline materials formed by linking molecular building blocks into precise frameworks. Their ...

Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even innovative 4D printing technologies. Here, we explain what exactly they are ...
