yielding a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure. For the polycondensation, unique reactivities of diazocarbonyl groups were employed, such as O–H and N–H insertion ...

Thousands of tiny, time-aware sensors can collectively map chemical concentrations within narrow tubes 6 hours ago Complex model of molecular 'wear-and-tear' shines light on how proteins age ...

High Internal Phase Emulsions (HIPEs) are a fascinating area of research in materials science, particularly for their applications in creating porous polymer structures. These emulsions consist of ...

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

where polymers interact with a layer of fluid between two different surfaces. The authors acknowledge funding from the Foundation for Science and Technology, Portugal. The American Chemical Society ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — Nearly every disease has an inflammatory component, but blood tests can't pinpoint inflammation in specific organs or tissues in the human body. Now researchers have developed a ...
