Radical polymerization underpins a vast array of synthetic polymers by exploiting the high reactivity of carbon-centred free radicals to initiate and propagate chain growth. Traditional free radical ...
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 ...
Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, received the Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Award for revolutionizing polymer chemistry by developing atom ...
As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...
