Calixarenes (CAs) are a class of macrocycle or cyclic oligomers formed by a condensation reaction between a phenol and an aldehyde. Many studies have been published on CAs, 1, 2, 3 such as their ...

Topochemical polymer synthesis and reactions exploit the unique spatial arrangement of reactant molecules in the solid state to achieve controlled polymer formation. By pre‐organising monomers within ...

With millions of tons of plastic going into landfills every year, chemists are racing to find end-of-life uses for materials like polystyrene. But these large polymers are notoriously hard to dissolve ...

In a recent webinar organized by the National Academy of Engineering in connection with its forthcoming Fall 2025 Bridge ...

In the quest to wring energy from every source imaginable, scientists are putting the squeeze on a common plastic ingredient. Applying force to polymers in water generates enough energy to drive ...

Biological enzymes don’t wait to bump into their targets inside of cells but make quick chemical work by sliding and hopping around on their DNA and RNA substrates. Now a team led by Wilhelm T. S.

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

Advanced Polymer Monitoring Technologies, Inc. has partnered with Tulane University and LSU on a nearly $2 million project to develop an online system for real-time feedback during the polymer ...

Each year, thousands of tons of nylon end up in landfills. But small-scale experiments may offer big hope for efficient recycling of some types of the material. Nylon-6, an artificial polymer used in ...

Founders: Advanced Polymer Monitoring Technologies was launched from Tulane University and is in the early stages of commercializing a decade’s worth of research. Wayne Reed, a physics professor and ...
