The oxidative polymerization of thiophene derivatives was carried out using palladium (II) acetate as a catalyst in combination with copper (II) acetate and trifluoroacetic acid under an oxygen ...

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

QUT researchers have created a prototype electronic device using a material made from seafood waste, paving the way for safe, ...

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 ...

Traditional polymers such as plastics are widely utilized for their chemical inertness and durability. However, these very ...

A research team from Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory introduced a new, eco-friendly method to transform carbon dioxide (CO₂, a major greenhouse gas) into useful high-performance plastics using a ...

He invented 3D printing processes to speed small-scale additive manufacturing and aid nuclear fusion development.

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 ...

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

TPO, which helps gels harden, may harm reproduction, but exposure levels are minimal, and alternatives are available ...
