Several hindrances to the recycling of synthetic polymers, including material separation and post-treatment degradation of the macromolecular polymer chains, negatively affect the cost-efficiency and ...

Many useful bulk properties of solid materials such as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity are manifested when a material is highly ordered and lacks a center of symmetry. Achieving this level of ...

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 ...
