Precise control over the location of monomers in a polymer chain has been described as the ‘Holy Grail’ of polymer synthesis. Controlled chain growth polymerization techniques have brought this goal ...

Starting with billions of molecules of monomer in a reactor, heat and pressure are applied in the presence of catalysts, causing one of the monomer double bonds to rearrange into two "half-bonds," one ...

Generally, in protein and peptide analyses, knowing a molecule’s oligomeric state is useful in determining whether the protein exists in its biologically active form. To this end, the first step ...
