In this study, reactive epoxy groups were introduced onto the surface of the flame retardant (FR ... The addition of FR increased the max torque to 19.9 Nm at 48 s, which was attributed to the ...

Researchers there made two-dimensional sheets out of X-shaped monomers, which are the building blocks of polymers. (In chemistry, two-dimensional objects are those consisting of just a single ...

For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers (molecular weight > 50,000), to control the stereo-structure (tacticity) of the C–C main chain, and to quantitatively ...

This illustration shows the C1 polymer formation, where the Pd-catalyst (red spere) is linearly combining a number of diazoacetate monomers (transparent sphere) to form the polymer main chain.

The most popular plastic for 3D printers is PLA – polylactic acid – a plastic that’s either derived from corn starch, inedible plant detritus, or sugar cane, depending where in the world it ...
