In a paper published in Nature Communications , researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence.

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. This has been shown in a new study by researchers from Martin Luther University ...

Polymers with favorable physical properties can be created by altering their properties by derivatisation or changing their structure. For example, the bromination of polystyrene gives fire resistant ...
