Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Chemistry have improved a popular technology used to generate a range of industrial plastics for applications ranging from paints and coatings ...

Polymer nanocomposites offer chemists a powerful platform for designing materials with tunable mechanical, transport, optical, and electronic properties. However, achieving precise control over ...

"This video explains one type of polymerisation, addition polymerisation. When monomers with a carbon carbon double bond like ethene join together, the double bond breaks and the molecules connect to ...
