Russian scientists assume that they have discovered a new state of matter, the head of the laboratory of engineering materials science at Moscow State University told socialbites.ca, the head of the Biomaterials department of the scientific center for genetics and life sciences at Sirius University. Lomonosov Dmitry Ivanov.
“In lectures we often show an experiment where we take a polymer ball and release it, and the ball bounces off the table very elastically. And if we put it on the table, after a few minutes it will spread and form a stain. This is the unique property of polymer materials that cannot be reproduced by any other substance,” explained Ivanov.
We are talking about a new state of matter. This issue is currently being discussed by physicists from different countries.
According to Dmitry Ivanov, a new round of developments in polymer science is currently emerging. Now scientists are moving from long linear chains to a more complex architecture consisting of molecular fibers of different lengths that are combinations of different blocks.
“We complicate the structure, move to a new level of complexity, and therefore unique properties appear that are impossible for simpler structures,” the expert added.
