ResearchPolymers are ubiquitous, encompassing everything from DNA and proteins, to gels, rubbers and plastics. Excluding biological polymers used in pharmaceutical and medical applications, polymers are a multi-billion dollar industry. Even though polymers are often used for such mundane things as plastic shopping bags and car tires, current research is focused on designing advanced materials for use in specialty applications such as medical implants or as dielectric layers in the microelectronics industry. Many of these advanced materials take advantage of new phenomena that occur when interactions at the nanoscale begin to dominate.
