The significant synthetic challenges inherent in such grafting-from strategies have in the past limited progress in this area. However, controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques have been ...

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 ...

Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, received the Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Award for revolutionizing polymer chemistry by developing atom ...

This course is a one-semester overview of organic chemistry for plastics engineering majors. Organic chemistry and its associated principles underscore a broad component of the plastics engineering ...

Polymerization mechanisms and their relation to molecular structure, polymerization process, and the mechanical properties of polymers, especially flow behavior. Textbook Introduction to Polymer ...

Taking a cue from chemistry that’s common in the pharmaceutical industry, chemists have used chiral anions to control stereochemistry when making poly(vinyl ethers ...

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. The materials have unique properties, depending on the type of molecules being bonded and how they are bonded. Some polymers bend ...
