Why knowing how polymers are made helps you work smarter with plastics.

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers.

Here, we’re going to take a look at the most common polymerization methods used to create the polymers which are used to make plastics. Addition Polymerization Addition polymerization, also known as ...

The most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon–carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which ...

Traditional polymers such as plastics are widely utilized for their chemical inertness and durability. However, these very ...

The research team directed by H. Shimomoto and E. Ihara in Ehime University succeeded in preparing a new type of carbon-carbon main chain polymers, ...

Genome-wide transcript analysis revealed that all the putative lignin peroxidase genes are expressed at normal levels or even higher in the laccase triple mutant, suggesting that lignin laccase ...
