Modern polymer materials face a fundamental challenge: they must remain strong and durable during use, yet ideally degrade ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process ...

Antimony-nitrogen interactions yield materials with enhanced stability and the ability to self-heal in aqueous environments ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller molecules called monomers, are found in nearly everything we use in our day-to-day lives. Polymers can be natural or created synthetically.
