Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

ACOMP is an automated smart manufacturing system that continually analyzes polymers during production, providing real-time data on reaction kinetics and polymer parameters such as residual monomer, ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

Mimicking the incredible skill of mother nature is never easy, especially when trying to match the remarkable chemical processes that take place in living organisms. Living systems, like cells, can ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...
