A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

Blending, grafting, curing, and functionalization are all techniques to modify the characteristics of a polymer. Blending is the process of physically mixing two (or more) polymers to obtain the ...

Polymer blends and alloys offer diverse properties through efficient and inexpensive manufacturing methods, making them applicable in several applications. 2 With increasing environmental concerns and ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...
