Polymer chemistry continues to evolve through the design and synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures that underpin a broad spectrum of advanced materials. Brush polymerization, a specialised ...

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 ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

Sponsored by ExxonMobil Chemical Co. "An icon in the field of polymer science," is how one colleague describes James E. McGrath, a University Distinguished Professor and Ethyl Corp. Chair in Chemistry ...

Polymerization mechanisms and their relation to molecular structure, polymerization process, and the mechanical properties of polymers, especially flow behavior. Textbook Introduction to Polymer ...

The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Important concepts and elements of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology are examined in an experimental context. This course fulfills the requirement for students majoring in ...

William Graessley, a Princeton professor of chemical engineering emeritus who spent his career seeking elegant solutions to problems involving long, entangled molecules known as polymers, died on Feb.

The Finnish start-up Synoste is developing an implant that may soon offer relief to patients whose legs differ in length. Surgeons insert Synoste’s rod-shaped device into the femur lengthwise. The ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...
