Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

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 ...

Given a choice, manufacturers of high-performance composites might prefer to make parts for a variety of applications from reinforced thermoplastics rather than reinforced thermosets. Thermoplastics ...

Deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization drives the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease. Therefore, direct inhibition of HbS polymerization has potential to favorably modify disease ...

This innovative self-healing polymer integrates gold nanoparticles, ensuring flexibility and durability for future wearable ...

Solutions of 1,6-hexanediamine and sebacoyl chloride are poured carefully into the same container. Nylon polymer forms at the interface of the two layers and can be pulled continuously from the ...

Market growth is initially volume-driven (2025–2028) due to rising production and increasing uptake in North America, Europe, ...
