RESEARCHERS PROPOSE A NEW STRUCTURAL MODEL FOR POLYMER MATERIALS

Researchers from Spain and the United States, in collaboration with ALBA, have developed a new structural model for polymer materials: the semi-paracrystallinity. The experiments performed at NCD-SWEET beamline were key to reveal the semi-paracrystalline organization of the polymers, which is of paramount importance for the further development of these materials in organic electronic technologies.
