In fact, the 3D structure of this globular protein is precisely encoded by the sequence of the monomer units in the polymer chain — the so-called primary structure of this macromolecule.

The development of polymer synthesis methods utilizing diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. For over 20 years, the Ihara ...

ORNL researchers developed a method to upcycle discarded plastics into high-value macromolecules, enhancing properties for ...

This method involved the preparation of DPE end-functionalized PIB, which was quantitatively metalated with n-butyllithium. The resulting macroanion efficiently initiated the living polymerization of ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone ...

We are developing new monomers based on free radical polymerization routes that can be used in the body to form completely degradable networks. New pathways to highly versatile hyperbranched polymers ...

Since 1920, polymers and macromolecules have been synonymous with each other; i.e. materials made by many covalent bonds connecting monomers in 2 or 3 dimensions. Although supramolecular interactions ...

This is a summary of recent progress on the polymerization of diazocarbonyl compounds developed by the Ihara group. The main ...

A ruthenium catalyst facilitated the polymerization, or polymer addition. Industrial firms have used this catalyst to make ...

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 ...
