Recent advances in polymer science have underscored the critical role of phase separation in polymer blends, particularly in the context of solar cell performance. By controlling the separation of ...

Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

Phase systems consisting of polymers or polymers with saltwater can be used to separate cells, membranes, viruses, proteins and other biomolecules. Aqueous two-phase systems, also known as ATPS, use ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...
