Several hindrances to the recycling of synthetic polymers, including material separation and post-treatment degradation of the macromolecular polymer chains, negatively affect the cost-efficiency and ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Biobased polymers and elastomers derived from terpene monomers represent an emerging frontier in sustainable materials science. Terpenes, abundant natural hydrocarbons extracted from plant sources, ...

According to Precedence Research, the global polymers market size will grow from USD 835.36 billion in 2025 to nearly USD ...

Even though many plastics are recyclable, most are not recycled because of the cost and labor needed. To help make plastic recycling easier, chemists want to find new polymers that require less work ...

Traditional polymers such as plastics are widely utilized for their chemical inertness and durability. However, these very ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in ...

Newseria nie ponosi odpowiedzialności za treści oraz inne materiały (np. infografiki, zdjęcia) przekazywane w „Biurze Prasowym”, których autorami są zarejestrowani użytkownicy tacy jak agencje PR, ...

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. The materials have unique properties, depending on the type of molecules being bonded and how they are bonded. Some polymers bend ...
