A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...
Polymer capsules can store functional substances such as drugs and fragrances, making them widely used in functional ...
Researchers have created a high-performance polymer that can be chemically recycled without compromising its heat and chemical resistance. The revolutionary design includes a directing group that ...
Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have developed a polymerization technology that enables the synthesis of degradable ...
The EPDM market is poised for growth due to demand in EV battery sealing, net-zero roofing membranes, and hydrogen fuel cells. Opportunities lie in bio-based feedstocks and advanced catalysts for ...
For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...
Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...
Researchers have used a light-sensitive iridium-palladium catalyst to make 'sequential' polymers, using visible light to change how different building blocks are combined into polymer chains. By ...
A bucket of liquid plastic that never hardens sounds like a fantasy in a factory. It is also the kind of problem that drives ...
