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 ...
A bucket of liquid plastic that never hardens sounds like a fantasy in a factory. It is also the kind of problem that drives ...
How the latent monomer system works These new latent monomers are built from small molecules called norbornadienes. Norbornadienes can be opened and linked into long chains by a standard ...
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 from China and the UK have discovered a protein complex that supports nutrient homeostasis and lignin polymerization in plants, thus suggesting a way to improve water and nutrient ...
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 ...
Polymer capsules can store functional substances such as drugs and fragrances, making them widely used in functional ...
Plastics are among the most successful materials of modern times. However, they also create a huge waste problem. Scientists produced different polymers from lipoic acid, a natural molecule. These ...
