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 ...

Their "crosslinked polymer" chemical structure guarantees ... chemistry that initiates two polymerization processes from one monomer base. The Fors group studies dihydrofuran (DHF), a monomer ...

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 ...

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 ...

This has led to many attempts to recycle it, and one of the more promising efforts recently came out of a lab at Northwestern University. Plastics exist as polymers, long chains of monomers that ...

Valomer 3D Model Fluid was created by high-performance polymer manufacturer Makevale, an SME based in Ware, United Kingdom, using its Valomer technology and a new speciality monomer called ...
