Researchers at the UAB have developed a new chemical reaction to form solid polymeric networks using light (photocuring) which will allow the preparation of solid materials with controlled shapes ...

Many materials in the modern world—from the plastics that dominate it to the electronic chips that drive it—are constructed of polymers. Given their ubiquity and the evolving requirements of our world ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

There are several advantages of semi-batch reactions over more conventional batch reactions. These advantages include the greater selectivity of products, the capacity for gradual addition of ...
