The geometrical conception and current synthetic challenges of topological polymer chemistry have been reviewed. On the basis of the systematic classification and isomeric properties of polymer chain ...

The significant synthetic challenges inherent in such grafting-from strategies have in the past limited progress in this area. However, controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques have been ...

From heat-resistant engineering plastics to sequence-encoded polypeptides, scientists are redefining what modern polymers can ...

Polymer chemistry is transforming industries, from sustainable materials to biomedicine. Over his decades as a professor of materials, chemistry and biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara, Craig Hawker’s ...

Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, received the Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Award for revolutionizing polymer chemistry by developing atom ...

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 new study marks a significant step forward in positioning synthetic polymers as an alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals used in the manufacture of devices such as conductors, transistors ...

If you have a polymer trade name or trade-mark, acronym, or abbreviation, you may need to translate it into a chemical name, common name, CAS RN, or specific trade name formulation before starting ...

Soft materials and polymers are ubiquitous in our lives and form the basis of many advances in medicine, sustainability, manufacturing, and clean water access. What makes these materials unique is ...

Please be aware that the Royal Society of Chemistry will never ask you to register for an event, or to book accommodation, by phone or email. Registrations for RSC events are handled via our usual ...
