Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

Cheap, strong, and versatile, plastic seemed like the perfect invention—until its staying power turned into a global headache ...

There are several advantages of semi-batch reactions over more conventional batch reactions. These advantages include the greater selectivity of products, the capacity for gradual addition of ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 225, No. 1162 (Sep. 14, 1954), pp. 330-345 (16 pages) A method has been described for following the rise ...

Protein polymerization underpins major biological processes, such as cell division and intracellular transport, while undesired assembly can lead to protein aggregates that are associated with, for ...

Super glue bonds skin so easily because its chemical structure reacts instantly with moisture — and skin is covered in a thin ...

A new recycling method breaks mixed plastics into their building blocks and selectively rebuilds each one, turning multilayer ...
