Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) remains one of the most important polymers in modern industry, valued for its exceptional combination of strength, stiffness and impact resistance. Its highly regular ...

To address the growing concern of accumulated non-degradable plastic waste in the oceans, a research group at Cornell University, USA, has developed a novel high-strength synthetic polymer called ...

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of ZnO microparticles on the morphology, photodegradation stability and antibacterial activity of iPP/ZnO composites. The analysis ...

Isotactic polypropylene (iPP), the number-two commercial polymer, was known for decades to adopt three crystalline forms, α, β, and γ, and in the past decade a fourth form, δ, was identified. Now, a ...
