Polymers are made by linking together building blocks of monomers into chains. To make polymers elastic, these chains are crosslinked by covalent chemical bonds. The crosslinks connect the polymer ...

A one-pot method for producing a range of degradable, partially recyclable thermosetting plastics by polymerising the same ...

They achieve this either by using crosslinked PS nanoparticles — ensuring minimal enthalpic differences between the nanoparticles and the polymer — or by coating cadmium selenide nanoparticles ...

Researchers have developed a recyclable alternative to a durable class of plastics used for items like car tires, replacement hip joints and bowling balls.
