A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the ... resulted in the development of many Aplastics@ and other polymeric materials and also stimulated research into the structure and ...

By imitating the structure of a protein, chemists have now made a strong, tough polymer that also exhibits elastic properties. In most of these cases, the synthetic materials mimic the structural ...

In every scientific discovery in the movies, a scientist observes something unexpected, scratches the side of his or her ...

Internal structure of polymer gels: A chemical gel is a cross-linked three-dimensional polymer network swollen by a fluid. An intriguing hierarchy structure which developed in a macroscopically ...

Our group studies the composition and nanoscale structure of polymer materials, nanothreads, metal–organic frameworks, carbon materials, nanocomposites, and natural organic matter, using a variety of ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

Grove Biopharma has raised a $30 million series A round to develop Bionic Biologics, also known as protein-like polymers (PLP ...

“Many highly crystalline substances are brittle, but our polymer has a regular, ordered structure yet is highly flexible ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...
