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. A facile and versatile ...

Traditional chemistry is so last year. Welcome to the world of mechanochemistry, where reactions that were thought impossible – indeed, that are impossible when attempted in more conventional ...

Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an artificial polymer that organizes itself into a controlled helix. Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double ...

Credit: Liheng Cai, Baiqiang Huang/Soft Biomatter Lab, University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science UVa researchers have developed a polymer that defies traditional trade-offs ...

In their latest study published in Scientific Reports on October 28, 2024, they report an innovative technique that uses ultrasonication to promote cell growth in specific directions. This study was ...

Specifically, the team investigated the effects of frequency, amplitude, timing, and duration of ultrasonication on the differentiation and final orientation of the cultured myoblasts. With ...

(13−16) Polyaniline (PANI), a polymer with inherent conductivity ... The solution was subsequently exposed to ultrasonication briefly to get a pristine and lustrous electrode surface. To create the ...

Eighty years ago, in 1944, Dr. Hans Müller from Winterthur, Switzerland filed a patent application for a device designed to process liquid substances at the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual ...
