Techniques to detect long chain branching in polymers It is well known that the presence of long chain branching (LCB) in a polymer has a large impact on its viscoelastic properties and can affect ...

Manufactured polymers are ubiquitous in our 21st Century lives. The large molecules - long chains of smaller molecules bonded together, form any synthetic clothing you might be wearing, rubbers ...

A NUMBER of long-chain polymers, when subjected to high-energy radiation such as is provided in the B.E.P.O. pile at Harwell, are found to become cross-linked. Among the polymers which behave in ...

Now, you’ve taken this long-chain polymer, and you’ve broken it into smaller pieces that contain a carbon-carbon double bond at the end.” Addition of a second catalyst, made of palladium, enabled ...

A new recipe, or design guidelines, for a self-strengthening muscle-like hydrogel has been developed through strategic integration of computational, information, and experimental research. The ...

New research has characterized how a dissolved polymer chain responds to suddenly accelerating solvent flow, solving a long-standing polymer chemistry puzzle.

The key to DISP’s effectiveness lies in its bioink. This bioink contains long-chain polymers and special chemicals known as crosslinkers, which help the polymers stick together and form a gel.

Addition polymerisation- Higher tier A polymer is a long chain molecule made up of small, repeating units. Poly (ethene) is a polymer made from a very large number of ethene molecules bonded together.
