A controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons. (Nanowerk News) Chemists have grown the ...

The longest chains of the conductive polymer poly(p-phenylene; PPP) produced to date are just under one micrometer (thousandth of a millimeter) long—almost an order of magnitude longer than previously ...

Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...

A team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), led by Yuhang Hu, PhD, has developed a new class of synthetic polymers that can grow, shrink, heal, and regenerate after their ...
