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 ...

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. A facile and versatile ...

Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an artificial polymer that organizes itself into a controlled helix. Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double ...

Aberration correction in scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) has permitted direct-interpretable imaging of light elements like O and Li at the atomic level. Observing such elements in ...

In America, 22 states have mandated residual solvent testing of cannabis products, with California being one of the strictest. In the first part of this webinar, Kirk will discuss headspace sampling ...

Adding lignin into biobased polymer materials not only reduces cost but also endows multiple functions to the materials. However, the harsh conditions brought by conventional melt-blending always lead ...
