Sodium polyacrylate is an example of a super-absorbing polymer. It is a cross-linked (network) polymer that contains sodium atoms. It absorbs water by a process called osmosis. When the ...
Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. This study reports the ...
The course gives students a fundamental introduction to concepts used to understand composition and properties of polymers and macromolecular systems. Students admitted at UiO must apply for courses ...
Researchers have successfully developed a supramolecular fluorophore nanocomposite fabrication technology using nanomaterials and constructed a sustainable solar organic biohydrogen production system.
The course gives students a fundamental introduction to concepts used to understand composition and properties of polymers and macromolecular systems. PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should ...
Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...
In a study published Nov. 21 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers have uncovered significant genetic connections between human language abilities and musical rhythm skills, providing ...
Naturally available or synthetically produced biodegradable polymers such as chitosan and alginates are synthesized by the assembly of copolymers, which are scientifically proven to be eco-friendly ...
