Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...

Polymer nanocomposites offer chemists a powerful platform for designing materials with tunable mechanical, transport, optical, and electronic properties. However, achieving precise control over ...

Emulsification and emulsion polymerization of styrene using mixtures of cationic surfactant and long chain fatty alcohols or alkanes as emulsifiers / A.R.M. Azad, J. Ugelstad, R.M. Fitch, and F.K.

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...

The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Important concepts and elements of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology are examined in an experimental context. This course fulfills the requirement for students majoring in ...

William Graessley, a Princeton professor of chemical engineering emeritus who spent his career seeking elegant solutions to problems involving long, entangled molecules known as polymers, died on Feb.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...

Taking a cue from chemistry that’s common in the pharmaceutical industry, chemists have used chiral anions to control stereochemistry when making poly(vinyl ethers ...

A structure of the polymer, n-doped conducting polymer poly(benzodifurandione), or n-PBDF. The polymer conducts electricity and assembles around neurons in a mesh ...
