Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has emerged as a highly versatile synthetic strategy to produce polymers with controlled architectures and tailored functionalities. By utilising cyclic monomers, ROP ...
Better Biodegradable Vinyl Polymer Materials by Improving Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization (rROP)
Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
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 ...
Even though many industrial plastics are recyclable, a significant proportion of the plastic waste is not recycled because of the energy demand and cost associated with the process. Chemically ...
Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...
