Every year, millions of tires end up in landfills, creating an environmental crisis with far-reaching consequences. In the ...

Radical polymers consist of a repeating polymer sub-unit backbone with side group ‘pendant’ organic radicals - compounds with an unpaired electron, but stabilized by their shape. These side ...

In the area of moisture management Revolymer has developed a range of novel proprietary amphiphilic graft copolymers such as Rev7®, whereby a backbone of hydrophobic polymer is covalently bonded with ...

Instead of linear polymer strands, Cai's structure resembles a bottlebrush—many flexible side chains radiating out from a central backbone. Critically, the backbone can collapse and expand like ...

Prof. Hickner will cover key aspects of the synthesis of acid- and base-containing polymers that are used as proton and hydroxide exchange membranes in electrochemical devices, including the ...

The researchers knew that the new polymer’s chemistry was far from ... evolution to find an enzyme that could handle the altered backbone and unwieldy reporter side chain. Kokoris says that ...
