A catalyst-free method for pulling apart certain polymers could help speed the industrial adoption of controlled radical polymerization—a polymer-building reaction that’s popular with researchers but ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to rapidly transform liquid monomers into solid polymers using light has been a transformative technology for over half a century. This process, known as ...

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 ...

Polymers are materials made out of long, repeating chains of molecules, and it is the interaction between these chains that dictate most of a polymer’s physicochemical properties. In accordance with ...
