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 using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

CPL-active polymeric materials are superior in terms of scalability, flexibility, 3D stacking ability, and film-forming properties. CPL can be produced directly using chiral luminescent materials, ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

Raman microscopy has become one of the most important characterization tools in the polymer field because of the large number of chemical and structural information that could be extracted from a ...

Plumber’s nightmare structure presents itself as an assemblage where all exits seem to converge inward—a plumber’s nightmare but an anticipated uniqueness for researchers, suggesting distinctive ...
