(b) Linear polymers in which the intermolecular forces of attraction are in between those of elastomers and fibres and can be melted again and again on heating followed by moulding to give the desired ...

The major purpose of this project was to work toward the development of a new generation of synthetic condensation-type polymers of high added value by taking as models the sophisticated functional ...

This is often called the ‘nylon rope experiment’ because nylon continues to form until one of the monomers is used up. Hydrogen chloride is formed instead of water. This is an acidic gas with a ...

Gene therapy can only be effective if delivered by a stable complex molecule. Now, scientists have determined the conditions that would stabilize complex molecular structures that are subject to ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

A new study uncovers revealing insights into how plastic materials used in electronics are formed—and how hidden flaws in their structure could be limiting their performance. Conjugated polymers are a ...
