Polymers are extensively used throughout industry, whether as naturally occurring materials like starch and cellulose, or synthetic commodities like nylon, polystyrene and polyethylene. Polymer ...

These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...

TESTA Analytical reports a major polymer manufacturer is using their COMBO-ONE detector, as part of a GPC/SEC system, to characterize the structure of macromolecules that offer desirable performance ...

A research team has developed a method for easily synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel made of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers (polymers with a molecular weight greater than 106 g/mol) and ...

Molecules that act as connected wheels can hold long molecular chains together to modify the properties of soft polymers. Molecules that act as connected wheels can hold long molecular chains together ...

1. A research team consisting of NIMS, Hokkaido University and Yamaguchi University has developed a method for easily synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel made of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) ...
