The use of solid supports and ultra-high vacuum conditions for the synthesis of two-dimensional polymers is attractive, as it can enable thorough characterization, often with submolecular resolution, ...

To design novel materials, scientists need to have a clear understanding of the chemical reactions or processes that take place when these materials are created. Researchers supported in part by the ...

Scanning ultraviolet (UV) light through a slit can boost the efficiency of photopolymerization reactions and produce polymers with higher molecular weight, scientists reveal. This straightforward ...

Researchers propose a novel process paradigm of photopolymerization-extrusion coupled molding targeting the 3D printing of ...

The polymerization mechanism of acrylate initiated by methyl phenylglyoxylate was investigated. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of the resultant polymer ...

Polymers are materials made out of long, repeating chains of molecules, and it is the interaction between these chains that dictates most of a polymer's physicochemical properties. In accordance with ...
