Chemists have succeeded in specifically controlling the setup of precision polymers by light-induced chemical reactions. The new method allows for the precise, planned arrangement of the chain links, ...
A wide variety of polymer materials — such as bulk phases, blends, block copolymer microphases, liquid crystals, gels, micellar assemblies, colloidal dispersions and layer-by-layer assemblies — are ...
Polymers are also called macromolecules, being very large organic molecules composed of an extremely high number of repeating smaller units called monomers. Their applications are widespread, and ...
