UVA Researchers Defy Materials Science Rules With Molecules That Release Stored Length To Decouple Stiffness and Stretchability Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a new design that appears to rewrite the textbook on polymer engineering. No longer is it dogma that the stiffer a polymeric material is, … Continue reading UVA Team Solves a Nearly 200-Year-Old Challenge in Polymers
