The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Discover how NMR technology is used to analyze and understand the polymers that shape our everyday products and materials.

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

Chemists can now precisely control the stereochemical sequence of synthetic polymers using similar techniques to those used ...

Raman technology provides real-time insights into polymer behavior, enabling advanced research and faster quality control ...

Rutgers scientists have developed plastics that can be programmed to break down at specific rates by drawing on a natural principle. Their approach could provide a meaningful new way to tackle the ...
