"Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and the Division of Analytical Chemistry, at the 206th National Meeting of the American Chemical ...

Raman microscopy has become one of the most important characterization tools in the polymer field because of the large number of chemical and structural information that could be extracted from a ...

Polymers are materials composed of repeated chains of molecules. Both natural and synthetic polymers possess many important properties that are influenced by the conformation and composition of ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is ubiquitous in chemistry and materials science. One of the reasons for its widespread popularity is because NMR is able to provide valuable information on the ...

Comprehending the thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability and physical characteristics of polymers is key to development success. The following case studies summarize experimental methods and data ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons.

In complement to the classical cross-linking polymers which cure thermally, light- and photo-curing polymers are becoming increasingly important in the fields of adhesives, paints and coatings. To ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” As populations increase, finding new, more effective ways to purify existing water sources is becoming more important and innovation with ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed ...
