Over 98% of plastics are made from fossil carbon (e.g., coal, oil, and gas), which is used to synthesize carbon-based chains (polymers) composed of smaller repeating units (monomers ... Figure 1: ...

Throughout most of the pages on this web site we will predominately use the term "controlled" to describe the reactions discussed since the objective of the experiments is to "control" one or more ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

Much of the U.S. uses single-stream recycling, where plastic, glass and paper go into one bin. Here’s what happens to that ...

By compounding thermoplastic polymers with fillers such as glass, graphite, pigments and functional monomers, AGCCA says it enhances material properties to extend application reach, solve complex ...

JEE Main 2025 Session 2 Deleted Syllabus: The JEE Main 2025 curriculum PDF has been made available by the National Testing Agency (NTA). To make their exam preparation more efficient, candidates ...

Potentially useful in this regard are chemically recyclable polymers that can decompose into their component monomers. Recycling polymers into monomers as effectively as possible while consuming as ...

To get these thiols into the body, we incorporated them into materials called polymers. These are long chains of organic molecules made of individual units called monomers. To get the monomers to link ...
