A new discovery about how ring-shaped polymers behave offers the potential to enable new ways for polymer scientists to design more sustainable materials.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon , Sandia National Laboratories , and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have conducted the largest simulation to date on this type of polymer.

The research also has implications for the behavior of biopolymer systems like folded proteins.
