Polymer chemistry continues to evolve through the design and synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures that underpin a broad spectrum of advanced materials. Brush polymerization, a specialised ...

The most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon–carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics such as ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. This research is led by Jian Liu (Key Laboratory of Polymer Science and Technology, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science created a new design that seems to rewrite the polymer engineering textbook completely. It is no longer a dogma that ...

Chemists and engineers collaborate on process that washes away nonconductive side chains from a robust polymer backbone to create a powerful conductive plastic.

Due to their optoelectronic properties, conjugated polymers play a crucial role in flexible electronics, organic light-emitting technology, and organic photovoltaics. These specialty polymers, however ...
