Once referred to as 'materials of 1,000 uses', plastics meet demands in everything from
clothing and automotive sectors to the manufacturing of medical equipment and electronics …

Whilst plastics have played an instrumental role in human development, growing
environmental concerns have led to increasing public scrutiny and demands for outright …

Many plastic packaging materials manufactured today are composites made of distinct
polymer layers (ie, multilayer films). Billions of pounds of these multilayer films are produced …

Stimuli‐responsive nanoparticles have the potential to improve the delivery of therapeutics
to a specific cell or region within the body. There are many stimuli that have shown potential …

The current global materials economy has long been inefficient due to unproductive reuse
and recycling efforts. Within the wider materials portfolio, plastics have been revolutionary to …

Self-immolative polymers are an emerging class of macromolecules with distinct
disassembly profiles that set them apart from other general degradable materials. These …

The formation of fibers by electrospinning has experienced explosive growth in the past
decade, recently reaching 4,000 publications and 1,500 patents per year. This impressive …

In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

Prodrugs are developed to increase the therapeutic properties of drugs and reduce their
side effects. Polyprodrugs emerged as highly efficient prodrugs produced by the …

The recent emergence of nanomedicine has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape and
necessitated the creation of more sophisticated drug delivery systems. Polymeric …
