A polymerization mechanism is the sequence of elementary chemical reactions by which polymerization – the process of converting monomer molecules into a polymer ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

The synthesis of polymers has always been limited in scope because most chemical reactions are highly sensitive to oxygen. The use of robots has the potential to greatly increase not only the speed of ...

A joint team led by Prof. Wu Kai and Assoc. Prof. Zhou Xiong at the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University, and Li Yongwang at Synfuels China Technology Co., Ltd. have ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
