Plastic waste is a growing environmental crisis, with thermosets among the most problematic materials. These durable plastics, used in car tires, replacement hip joints, and aerospace coatings, resist ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, ...

EPC Engineering & Technologies has partnered with Avantium to commercialize the continuous polymerization of PEF (PEF cpol ...

Polymer industries depend on the spontaneous polymerization of molecules into chains in response to an appropriate trigger. We have succeeded in inducing and guiding chain polymerization over tiny ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with a chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvents.
