Aqueous free-radical precipitation polymerization is one of the most useful methods to prepare the uniformly sized hydrogel microspheres (microgels), and an understanding of the polymerization ...

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

Energy-efficient frontal polymerization process eliminates the need of oven or autoclave to transform 2D printed structures ...

Olefin metathesis reactions are metal-mediated carbon–carbon (C–C) double bond exchange processes, 1, 2 which were discovered in the mid 1950s. Chauvin proposed the commonly accepted mechanism for ...

The polymerization–depolymerization dynamics of actin is a key process in a variety of cellular functions. Many spectroscopic studies have been performed in solution, but studies on single actin ...

A team of chemistry and materials science experts has created a novel way to overcome one of the major hurdles preventing the widespread use of controlled radical polymerization. A team of chemistry ...

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 ...

Polymerization in a batch reactor can be easily controlled by monitoring the dielectric properties. Prior studies have demonstrated that the free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate can be ...

Rochester, N.Y.-based sustainable materials company Novomer has developed efficient catalyst technology that allows for the commercial production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers. The company ...
