A new study provides an unprecedented look at how monomer sequence affects charge transport in precisely defined chain molecules. Researchers in the Schroeder and Moore groups at the University of ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have synthesized a new conjugated polymer for organic electronics using two different chemical reactions and shown the impact of the two methods on its ...

Graduate students Drake Beery and Grace McLeod in Kenneth Hanson’s lab at Florida State University achieved this marvelous marigold hue in the process of synthesizing a monomer for polymerization.

Polymers can be thought of like trains: Just as a train is composed of multiple cars, polymers are made up of multiple monomers, and the couplings between the train cars are similar to the chemical ...

Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices and optic fibers. Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely ...

Scientists have long been fascinated with the origin of life on Earth, namely the transition from simple pre-biotic organic molecules to living cell systems. How did these chemical reactions come ...

The development of advanced materials with sophisticated patterning and excellent physical and chemical properties is crucial for various applications. In a recent article published in Scientific ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...
