For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Several in attendance spoke against its inclusion, board members advocated caution with the emerging technology, and the ...

Polymers are made by linking together building blocks of monomers into chains. To make polymers elastic, these chains are crosslinked by covalent chemical bonds. The crosslinks connect the polymer ...

Plastics are examples of polymers - very large molecules formed by the joining of many small molecules called monomers. The uses of plastics are related to their chemical properties. The name of ...

Petrochemical companies, tire makers and synthetic rubber producers alike are investing in sourcing more sustainable ...

Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers—the single chemical units—that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the ...

Despite a more widespread shift toward product recyclability, these types of linear systems are still especially prevalent in ...

Polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs) play a vital role in our lives, yet limited attention has been paid to their environmental impacts. We wanted to change that, so we brought together key ...
