The three-dimensional structures of hyperbranched materials have made them attractive in many important applications. However, the preparation of hyperbranched materials remains challenging. The ...

An alternative to solve the problem is to incorporate some types of monomers to PMMA. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using various types of monomers in polymeric dental materials to ...

Several hindrances to the recycling of synthetic polymers, including material separation and post-treatment degradation of the macromolecular polymer chains, negatively affect the cost-efficiency and ...

A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

ERL-4140 cycloaliphatic epoxide monomer is a new product just released by Dow. It has been designed for use in UV-curing resins. It contains an ester capable of alcoholysis or transesterification ...

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 ...

Generally, in protein and peptide analyses, knowing a molecule’s oligomeric state is useful in determining whether the protein exists in its biologically active form. To this end, the first step ...
