Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at—or rather, through—a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But ...

Molecularly imprinted biochar offers a highly selective and sustainable way to trap and destroy pollutants in water, soil, ...
