Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say their polymer coating could be used to protect photovoltaic modules, due to its impermeability to gases. The team has demonstrated that a ...

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

A polymer with a 2D molecular structure stacks into tightly packed layers — forming films of nanoscale thicknesses that are nearly impermeable to gases and moisture. Polymers are attractive barrier ...

Greater Akron Polymer Innovation Hub backs Ohio‑based company engineering nanolayer films that cut microplastic waste and advance innovation across industries. Selected through a competitive process ...
