For Frank Leibfarth, focussing on reactivity and selectivity helps him bridge the gap between fundamental and applied ...

Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

Organic catalysts have exciting potential for both constructing and deconstructing plastics. They could offer significant advantages as greener alternatives to metal-based catalysts. Emerging ...

Cross-linking polymers simply means adding bonds across polymer strands, explains Jeremy E. Wulff, a chemistry professor at the University of Victoria who led the work. Silicone bakeware, certain ...

Macromolecular engineering, i.e., the preparation of well-defined polymers with controlled architecture, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and end-functionalities by living cationic, ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to ...

Researchers from Zhengzhou University, under the direction of Professor Chenkai Sun, created an innovative low-cost polymer material for Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) that achieves previously unheard-of ...

Researchers are one step closer to realizing their goal of creating a battery made entirely of polymers, which has the potential to charge and discharge much faster than traditional batteries. Texas A ...
