Question: Could you make synthetic polymer into new inventions

Thomas Swift answered on 15 Mar 2023:

Definitely. There are all sorts of problems where if we had new materials that were tougher, stronger, stretchier, or more extreme if they changed colour if they got hot or were near a magnet – we can invent new devices that would use these materials to help people.

A recent one I am working on is a patch that contains hundreds of tiny micro needles that are too small to see with the naked eye. Having injections with a syringe is painful but if you could wear this patch for 30 minutes to get the same dosage of drug it would make people far less stressed to go to the doctors.
