A controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons. (Nanowerk News) Chemists have grown the ...

An Ehime University research team directed by H. Shimomoto and E. Ihara has developed a new molecular design strategy that ...

Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Polymer nanoparticles formed by polymerization-induced self-assembly inhibited ice recrystallization primarily through their ...
