Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the ... resulted in the development of many Aplastics@ and other polymeric materials and also stimulated research into the structure and ...

Solid polymer materials may be glassy, leathery or rubbery. These qualities can be explained in terms of the structure of polymer molecules and how they are organized in solids By Arthur V. Tobolsky ...

A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

By manipulating the microstructure of a natural polyester, researchers in the US have developed a biodegradable adhesive ...

"We made a completely new polymer structure," said Northwestern's William Dichtel, the study's corresponding author. "It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip because each of the ...
