Underneath the hardcourt surface lies a layer of polymer which, if installed incorrectly, will cause the court to swell with temperature shifts or...
Langer also changed forever the way the materials used in these systems are designed. Researchers in the past had relied on off-the-shelf materials for medical applications. (The fabric in the first artificial heart, for example, was the same polyether urethane used in women's girdles.) Langer reversed the...
His assignment in Folkman's lab was to find a way to release gradually a stream of large organic molecules into the tissue of a laboratory animal. Researchers had already tried encasing large molecules like the one Langer was testing in polymers (long-chain molecules, such as silicone, that are...
In addition, MIT professor Robert S. Langer is using polymers to advance many areas of medicine. He mentioned that polymer scaffolds could be used to aid the growth of skin in burn victims.
Preserving that time is one reason Annie's parents, who both work outside the home, were drawn to Beacon. Annie plays recreational soccer, does art projects with Mom using polymer clays (a favorite hobby), helps cook dinner, does laundry, cleans up after her hamster and still gets to bed by...
