"Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and the Division of Analytical Chemistry, at the 206th National Meeting of the American Chemical ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the characterization of polymers, providing unparalleled insights into molecular weights, chemical compositions, and sequence distributions.

Raman microscopy has become one of the most important characterization tools in the polymer field because of the large number of chemical and structural information that could be extracted from a ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

In complement to the classical cross-linking polymers which cure thermally, light- and photo-curing polymers are becoming increasingly important in the fields of adhesives, paints and coatings. To ...

Different from small molecules, polymer will fold into lamellar crystals during crystallization and further assemble into lamellar stacks. Synchrotron Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ...

The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...
