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

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 ...

A group of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences asserts that rather than being regarded as waste, ...

Discover how Raman spectroscopy combined with rheology provides deep insights into the melting and recrystallization behavior ...

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 ...

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

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

Solutions of 1,6-hexanediamine and sebacoyl chloride are poured carefully into the same container. Nylon polymer forms at the interface of the two layers and can be pulled continuously from the ...
