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

Take the tangled spaghetti-soup of a polymer melt and stretch it: the immediate response is like that of an elastic network, as the polymers are forced to deform through their mutual entanglements.

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

Global stakeholders increasingly favor rPET in packaging and textiles, supported by novel chemical recycling pathways, though ...
