Alkoxyamines represent a versatile class of compounds central to the advancement of controlled radical polymerisation. By undergoing a reversible homolytic cleavage of the C–ON bond, they generate a ...

Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

Regulating the polymerization process is of great interest for both industrial and medical applications. In an article published in Angewandte Chemie, TU/e researchers show they not only can control ...

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 ...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new polymerization technique that chains chemical reactions in ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Metal-organic networks have gained much attention due to their high surface areas and tunable structures, which underpin ...

In 1964, just four years after Theodore Maiman's pioneering laser operation at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California, the James Bond film Goldfinger hinted at laser cutting, albeit for less ...
