A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Precise synthesis of polymer brushes to modify the surface of nanoparticles and nanodevices for targeted applications has been one of the major focuses in the community for decades. Here we report a ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to ...

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna, have made an advancement in nanotechnology, successfully extending the well-known Stöber method to synthesize amorphous ...

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884003B2) discloses a method for producing a polymer member with a polymer coating on a polymer shaped object. The process involves curing a curable ...

Linear or thermoplastic polymers are polymers that consist of long chains or strings of repeating units. These types of materials can be heated, allowing the polymer chains to slide over each other ...

Previously, non-nucleic acid polymers had to be built stepwise, by adding one new unit to the polymer’s end each time. In this method, building a ten-unit polymer would take ten separate steps. Using ...
