A structure of the Pd-based initiators was devised, leading to success in improving their activity for C1 polymerization. For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers ...

"We've discovered that when many bacteria grow in fluids containing spaghetti-like molecules called polymers, such as mucus in the lungs, they form cable-like structures that intertwine like ...

Whenever body armor comes to mind, we expect it to be heavy and inconvenient. However, there is a lightweight variant that makes use of 2D polymer material that is stronger than steel but as ...

which can be a challenge with sparingly soluble polymers. The solvent hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIPA) is conventionally used for nylon, even though it is relatively expensive and aggressively corrosive, ...

Ludwigshafen, Germany, March 24--BASF is planning to phase out nylon (nylon 6) polymers production at it Enka, N.C. site by 2007 and consolidate production of these materials at its site in ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization ... catalysts and mechanisms, the range of structures that can be generated and techniques for assessing the ATRP product, concluding with an overview ...

Additionally, it will examine how force-induced bond scission can trigger additional chemical reactions to adaptively adjust the polymer structures for on-demand functions. These force-activated ...

The plant would have about 350 employees remaining, and it would continue to make nylon polymer chips for the carpet industry and extrusion grade resins for plastics makers. The job cuts at the ...

The UAB researchers observed that when these tea bags are used to prepare an infusion, huge amounts of nano-sized particles and nanofilamentous structures ... from the polymers nylon-6 ...
