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 ...
