In a recent study posted to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS), researchers presented new structural insights about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...
(a) An insoluble crystalline polymorphic state inhibits supramolecular polymerization at high concentrations. (b) Mixing the coformer molecule with the parent monomer in the solidification process ...
Even though many industrial plastics are recyclable, a significant proportion of the plastic waste is not recycled because of the energy demand and cost associated with the process. Chemically ...
Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...
A new study shows that the protein CHIP can regulate the insulin receptor more efficiently alone than in a paired state. In cellular stress situations, CHIP usually appears as a homodimer - an ...
Speaking in a Division of Polymer Chemistry session Tuesday, Coates noted that the polyacetal polymer is stable up to 325 °C. However, once researchers combine this plastic with a strong acid catalyst ...
