Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons.

A controlled/“living” click polymerization method developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally limited to ...

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

Recent research conducted by the Chemistry Department at the University of Liverpool has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of polymer science. Artistic rendering of a polymer chain ...

Obviously, 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 ...

Polymer brushes are made up of continuous monomers that are attached to an interface by one chain link at a sufficiently high density for the polymers to extend outward from the substrate. These ...
