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