Polymer mechanochemistry, which utilizes mechanical force to induce chemical reactions within polymers, has shown great potential in meeting these demands. This Perspective will explore how ...

Jeff Moore of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will introduce you to the mechanophore hypothesis, including the history of polymer mechanochemistry over the past two decades. Then, Steve ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Well-defined vinyl ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...

Resonant-Cavity-Enhanced Electrochromic Materials and Devices.

The plunge cylindrical grinding operation has been widely employed in the manufacturing process of components which require excellent surface quality achieved within small ranges of dimensional ...

In the review article, Mechanochemistry and oleochemistry: a green combination for the production of high-value small chemicals, the little utilised mechanochemistry technique for oleochemistry is ...

Unlike animals that store fat when they consume excess food, these bacteria store a biopolymer. Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms that are fully biodegradable.
