In this review article, we discuss the synthesis and dynamic nature of macromolecular systems that have mechanically linked polymer chains capable of undergoing a topology transformation driven by a ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. Polymers, large molecules made up of repeating smaller ...

Traditional methods like gel permeation chromatography (GPC) use a single detector to compare polymer samples, and as a result they are not capable of providing comprehensive comparison results.

This illustration shows the C1 polymer formation, where the Pd-catalyst (red spere) is linearly combining a number of diazoacetate monomers (transparent sphere) to form the polymer main chain. For ...
