Zwitterions sound like a distant cousin of Twitter (X), but in fact they are a common macromolecule found in human cells.

A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down ...

Recently, Virgil Percec and co-workers 1 from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia have shown how helical polymers can provide such capabilities. These polymers, in which each individual ...

Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the ... and also stimulated research into the structure and properties of more complex biological macromolecules such as proteins, enzymes, and ...

A new adhesive dissolves in alkaline solutions, making plastic recycling cleaner and more effective. This could greatly ...

The ability to control the sequence of building blocks in polymers with increasing levels of precision offers new opportunities for tailoring the properties of designer synthetic macromolecules.

Provision is made to include the broadest coverage of both practical and theoretical aspects of polymer science, taking advantage of the unique facilities at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in ...

The paper is published in the journal Macromolecules. This advance represents a pioneering achievement in both asymmetric chemistry and polymer chemistry. In their study, the research team ...
