Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process ...

A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

This polymer-based system shows that coherent quantum behavior can be designed into stable, tunable, solution-processable materials compatible with real devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum ...

To upcycle the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory invented a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material ...

The world is filled with myriad sounds and vibrations—the gentle tones of a piano drifting down the hall, the relaxing purr of a cat laying on your chest, the annoying hum of the office lights.

Texicryl alkali swellable emulsions (ASEs) are dispersions of acid-functional acrylic polymers in water. These emulsions are supplied at low pH, meaning that acid groups on the polymer chains must be ...
