Researchers have invented a new solvent-free polymer for digital light printing (DLP), a type of 3D printing that essentially pulls solid objects out of a shallow pool of resin one layer at a time.

Using machine learning, MIT chemical engineers have created a computational model that can predict how well any given molecule will dissolve in an organic solvent—a key step in the synthesis of nearly ...

Multilayer plastic materials are ubiquitous in food and medical supply packaging, particularly since layering polymers can give those films specific properties, like heat resistance or oxygen and ...

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a widely used solvent that is miscible with water and a wide range of organic solvents. It goes by several names, including methyl sulfoxide, sulfinylbismethane, and ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...
