Traumatic brain injuries, often resulting from falls or traffic accidents, lead to significant death and disability each year. Research into secondary brain damage, which follows the initial injury, ...

This is often called the ‘nylon rope experiment’ because nylon continues to form until one of the monomers is used up. Hydrogen chloride is formed instead of water. This is an acidic gas with ...

The findings are published in the Polymer Journal ... units of vinyl monomers such as ethylene and styrene, the polymerization of diazoacetate forms the C–C main chain from one carbon unit ...

It is hard to make very highly entangled polystyrenes because of the bulkiness of the monomer ... rely on ring-polymer dynamics. And in a strange leap of concepts from one field of physics ...

Plastic has been a revolutionary material over the past century, with an uncountable number of uses and an incredibly low price to boot. Unfortunately, this low cost has led to its use in many ...

Known as a thia-Michael addition, this reaction is reversible, meaning that the resulting polythioenones (PCTE) can be depolymerized back to the starting monomer. One of the synthesized polymers ...

Plastics are examples of polymers - very large molecules formed by the joining of many small molecules called monomers. The uses of plastics are related to their chemical properties. The name of ...
