In this focused review, I present an overview of our recent research on bio-based polymers produced by the controlled/living polymerization of naturally occurring or derived renewable monomers, such ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

A sticky, toxic by-product that has long plagued renewable energy production may soon become a valuable resource, according to a new review published ...

QUT researchers have created a prototype electronic device using a material made from seafood waste, paving the way for safe, ...

Given a choice, manufacturers of high-performance composites might prefer to make parts for a variety of applications from reinforced thermoplastics rather than reinforced thermosets. Thermoplastics ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Di-tert. butyl peroxide labelled with carbon-14 has been used to initiate the polymerization of styrene, and the resulting polymers have been ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

Deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization drives the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease. Therefore, direct inhibition of HbS polymerization has potential to favorably modify disease ...

While typical 3D printers create objects by putting down thin layers of material, usually a plastic, Xia works with two-photon polymerization printers. Around for decades, they function by shooting ...
