Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the ... resulted in the development of many Aplastics@ and other polymeric materials and also stimulated research into the structure and ...

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 ...

Relationships between polymer structure (chemical composition, molecular weight and flexibility, intermolecular order and bonding, supermolecular structure) and practical properties (processability, ...

In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides ... needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

The result is a highly ordered structure with densely entangled polymers between nanosheets, not only improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel but also allowing the material to self-heal.

Next, they coated the exoskeleton with polyaniline and created a polymer element with a two-layered structure comprising a conductive polymer and a sheath spring. For this coating, they measured ...
