- Rearranged polymer chains create degradable materials with potential for stronger, tougher packagingWhat if the key to making stronger, more sustainable plastics isn't changing their ingredients, but rearranging their molecules? Virginia Tech researchers have put that idea to the test, creating degradable polymers with a new molecular architecture that combines properties often difficult to…
