Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the ... resulted in the development of many Aplastics@ and other polymeric materials and also stimulated research into the structure and ...

A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

By forming nanocomposites, these hairy particles self-assembled into a crystal-like structure, providing different spaces ...

Relationships between polymer structure (chemical composition, molecular weight and flexibility, intermolecular order and bonding, supermolecular structure) and practical properties (processability, ...

Internal structure of polymer gels: A chemical gel is a cross-linked three-dimensional polymer network swollen by a fluid. An intriguing hierarchy structure which developed in a macroscopically ...

Lignin is synthesized by polymerization of these components and their ratio within the polymer varies between different plants, wood tissues and cell wall layers. Cellulose, hemicellulose and ...

Neutron reflectometry is extensively used to study the structure and dynamics of polymer thin films, brushes, and interfaces. It can provide information about the conformation, density profile, and ...
