Polymers are used in a number of applications: engineered combinations of monomers create a nearly infinite number of molecules with different properties, which are identified by the structure and ...

In addition to helping scientists understand how natural soft structures such as flower petals and embryos take shape, the technique could be used to make polymer actuators. These devices move in ...

As the development of contemporary materials has continued to advance from the macro scale to nanoscale, the requirement for sophisticated microscopy techniques has increased dramatically. Scanning ...

In contrast to the wide number and variety of available synthetic routes to conventional linear polymers, the synthesis of two-dimensional polymers and unambiguous proof of their structure remains a ...
