A newly-released review article in the journal Engineering has shed light on the remarkable potential of multiphoton ...

Polymerization reactions and resulting molecular weight distributions; modeling of polymerization kinetics; batch, continuous stirred tank and tubular flow reactor design for optimal polymerizations; ...

Polymer industries depend on the spontaneous polymerization of molecules into chains in response to an appropriate trigger. We have succeeded in inducing and guiding chain polymerization over tiny ...

A newly-released review article in Engineering explores the potential of multiphoton polymerization (MPP)-based micro/nanomanufacturing in the field ...

Solutions of 1,6-hexanediamine and sebacoyl chloride are poured carefully into the same container. Nylon polymer forms at the interface of the two layers and can be pulled continuously from the ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, known for extreme durability. Their "crosslinked polymer" chemical ...

Researchers developed a new optimized printing approach that could enable super-resolution 3D direct laser writing (DLW) of ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvent.
