Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Precisely controlling the ...
All reagents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical (St Louis, MO, USA) and used without further purification unless otherwise noted. MMA was distilled at reduced pressure and azobisisobutyronitrile was ...
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 ...
Better Biodegradable Vinyl Polymer Materials by Improving Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization (rROP)
Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
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 ...
We present a predictive scheme connecting the topological structure of highly branched entangled polymers, with industrial-level complexity, to the emergent viscoelasticity of the polymer melt. The ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 192, No. 1030 (Feb. 18, 1948), pp. 329-339 (11 pages) A simple method for investigating the relation ...
Cheap, strong, and versatile, plastic seemed like the perfect invention—until its staying power turned into a global headache ...
