Researchers have developed a new method to image polymerization catalysis reactions one monomer at a time. Synthetic polymers are everywhere in our society -- from nylon and polyester clothing to ...

The Moscow-based Russian Chemists Union and the Chemical Industry Development Aid Fund have completed a large-scale study at Rosbiotech University centered on the quality of repeatedly recycled ...

The sources of natural polymers can be plant-based, animal-based, and marine-derived. For instance, plant-based polymers like cellulose are widely used in paper and textile industries for their ...

Polymer materials have become increasingly important across various industrial applications due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Among these, Young's modulus is a key mechanical ...

Katherine Harry receives funding from RePLACE (Redesigning Polymers to Leverage a Circular Economy) funded by the Office of Science of the US Department of Energy. Emma Rettner receives funding from ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...
