A research team has developed a revolutionary two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal that overcomes major conductivity ...

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

Copolymers with hydrophobic polymers form nano-sized structures, such as micelles, nanoparticles and nanofibers, by self-assembly, leading to the production of various biomaterials. In this ...

Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

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 ...

An international research team has synthesized a multilayered two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal, achieving unique ...

"We made a completely new polymer structure," said Northwestern's William Dichtel, the study's corresponding author. "It's similar to chainmail in that it cannot easily rip because each of the ...
