Scientists are using electricity from a battery to drive atom transfer radical polymerization, a widely used method of creating industrial plastics. The environmentally friendly approach represents a ...

Thanks to reduced requirements for metal catalysts, two new polymerization techniques—one that modifies and improves an important polymerization process and another that converts that process into a ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

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 ...

Nanocomposites represent an innovative class of materials that combine inorganic nanofillers with polymer matrices to achieve enhanced mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Recent advances in ...
