"Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and the Division of Analytical Chemistry, at the 206th National Meeting of the American Chemical ...

Traditional column calibration methods in size exclusion chromatography (SEC) often struggle with accuracy and resolution, especially for complex samples. Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) solves ...

Different from small molecules, polymers will fold into lamellar crystals during crystallization and further assemble into lamellar stacks. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

Polymers are materials composed of repeated chains of molecules. Both natural and synthetic polymers possess many important properties that are influenced by the conformation and composition of ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is ubiquitous in chemistry and materials science. One of the reasons for its widespread popularity is because NMR is able to provide valuable information on the ...

Comprehending the thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability and physical characteristics of polymers is key to development success. The following case studies summarize experimental methods and data ...

In complement to the classical cross-linking polymers which cure thermally, light- and photo-curing polymers are becoming increasingly important in the fields of adhesives, paints and coatings. To ...

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...
