The dynamic covalent exchange reactions of side chains in polymer brushes on nanoparticles were successfully demonstrated, and the dispersibility of the nanoparticles after the exchange reactions was ...

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 ...

A researcher at Michigan Technological University has found a way to control polymer reactions and permit scientists to create tailor-made polymeric materials withunique properties. The ...

Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

Production of biocompatible and super-absorbent materials may become easier. Using a modification to the high-precision technique known as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), which links ...

MFR testing can be characterized as the Rodney Dangerfield of material test techniques — it receives no respect. People from every area of the industry tone down the value of the test or completely ...

May 23, 2001 (Paris, France) — It's long been speculated, but never proven: now a new meta-analysis with three-year data is offering the first solid proof that drug-eluting stents (DES) with ...

For a chemical reaction to happen: There are different ways to determine the rate of a reaction. The method chosen usually depends on the reactants and products involved, and how easy it is to measure ...
