A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down ...

A newly-released review article in the journal Engineering has shed light on the remarkable potential of multiphoton ...

The first polymerization process involves opening the circular monomer and stitching many of them together, creating a long, open chain. Flexible and soft, the resulting material can be completely ...

Christophe Thomas and co-workers describe a very elegant strategy for controlling monomer sequences in a synthetic polymerization process 5 — the ring-opening polymerization of β-lactones.

A newly-released review article in Engineering explores the potential of multiphoton polymerization (MPP)-based micro/nanomanufacturing in the field ...

The free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization (FRRPP) process was discovered by the G. Caneba at Michigan Tech in the 1990s as a chain polymerization method, whereby phase separation is ...

By using a bismuth oxide catalyst—a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction—the researchers can selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of combustibles. The researchers showed that you can ...
