Polymers are fundamental to our daily lives, serving as the core components for a wide array of goods, including clothing, packaging, transportation infrastructure, construction materials, and ...

A multi-institutional team of chemists harnessed the power of a dangerous gas called SOF4 to create new modifiable polymers useful for drug discovery and material science. The team used a type of ...

Polymers are an integral part of many industries and are used in conjunction with other materials and components to make a vast array of the world’s products. There are also many different types of ...

The fifth ACS/FDA colloquium “The Bio of New Polymers: Biobased, Biodegradable, and Biosustainable” was held virtually on Thursday, October 12, 2023. This colloquium focused on the development of ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

The molecular machines that cells use to build proteins are backed by a billion years of evolution. In that time, these machines—ribosomes—have become exceptionally good at forging amide bonds between ...

The branched polyolefins polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) account for more than 40% of the world’s plastic production, according to PlasticsEurope, ...
