Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, known for extreme durability. Their "crosslinked polymer" chemical structure ...
A self-propagating chemical reaction can transform a liquid monomer into a solid polymer, and the interaction between the propagating front and the reaction's natural convection leads to patterns in ...
The formation of supramolecular polymers within living cells is an emerging strategy for regulating cellular functions, and ...
Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Better Biodegradable Vinyl Polymer Materials by Improving Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization (rROP)
Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
Inkbit has published a patent application that describes a different kind of material chemistry for inkjet additive ...
Chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel, as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical ...
Restorative dentistry aims to bring damaged dentition back to acceptable functional and aesthetic levels (see Figure 1). Composite materials for dental fillings are replacing amalgam alloys due to ...
