Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

A new study provides an unprecedented look at how monomer sequence affects charge transport in precisely defined chain molecules. Researchers in the Schroeder and Moore groups at the University of ...

A research group is developing polymers that can be broken down into their constituent parts; thus, when the catalyst for depolymerization is absent or removed, the polymers will be highly stable and ...

This course is the first in the required sequence for Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology majors and is also applicable for other majors related to the biological sciences. We will begin ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Vol. 309, No. 1507, Physics, Chemistry and Applications of Thermotropic Liquid Crystals (Jun. 3, ...

Plastics sustainability has come a long way in recent years thanks in large part to scientific advances. But even as plastics become more and more environmentally friendly, the world continues to be ...
