Utilizing unique reactivities of the diazocarbonyl groups on these compounds, a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure have been prepared. Credit: Polymer Journal (2024 ...

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 ...

Copolymers with hydrophobic polymers form nano-sized structures, such as micelles, nanoparticles and nanofibers, by self-assembly, leading to the production of various biomaterials. In this ...

"We've discovered that when many bacteria grow in fluids containing spaghetti-like molecules called polymers, such as mucus in the lungs, they form cable-like structures that intertwine like ...

While the polymer is not adhesive when made that way, his lab was able to chemically re-engineer its structure to now deliver stronger adhesion than the common petroleum-derived, nonbiodegradable ...
