In living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), a transition-metal–carbene complex polymerizes ring-strained olefins with very good control of the molecular weight of the resulting polymers.

Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the ...

Polymerization in a batch reactor can be easily controlled by monitoring the dielectric properties. Prior studies have demonstrated that the free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate can be ...

Aqueous free-radical precipitation polymerization is one of the most useful methods to prepare the uniformly sized hydrogel microspheres (microgels), and an understanding of the polymerization ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

The photopolymerization of vinyl acetate has been found to be very much accelerated by the presence of small quantities of benzoyl peroxide. This is considered to be the result of a photochemical ...

Under pressure on all fronts, fluoropolymer makers are struggling to transform their industry into a more sustainable business. In February, the European Chemicals Agency published a proposal from ...
