Bare aromatic polymers have the potential to be used in a wide range of high-performance and functional materials. However, their synthesis is hindered by the poor solubility of their parent compounds ...

Chemoenzymatic synthesis represents an innovative fusion of chemical and enzymatic methodologies to orchestrate the assembly of peptides and polymers under mild, environmentally benign conditions. By ...

An international research team has synthesized a multilayered two-dimensional polyaniline (2DPANI) crystal, achieving unique metallic out-of-plane charge transport and high conductivity. This study ...

The researchers published their findings in Nature Communications ("Stöber method to amorphous metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers"). The Stöber method, traditionally used for creating ...

A research team has developed a method for easily synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel made of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers (polymers with a molecular weight greater than 106 g/mol) and ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have developed a polymerization technology that enables the synthesis of degradable ...

Scientists developing new biomaterials often try to mimic the body's natural proteins, but a chemist shows that simpler polymers -- based on a handful of plastic building blocks -- also work well.

Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...

The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

Award-winning associate professor Emily Pentzer, Editor-in-Chief of RSC Applied Polymers, shares advice for authors.

(Nanowerk News) Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone ...
