Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

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 ...

Researchers in Sweden have unveiled a way to create high-performance electronic electrodes using nothing more than visible light and specially designed water-soluble monomers. This gentle, ...

A simple burst of visible light can now create skin-safe electrodes that could transform medical and wearable electronics.

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

The project has now succeeded in creating a method where polymerization can be driven by visible light, thanks to specially designed monomers developed by the researchers. This visible light ...

Bruker's TD-NMR enables rapid, at-line measurement of polymer properties, ensuring consistent quality and performance in modern manufacturing environments.
