In the second edition of Physical Properties of Polymers Handbook, each chapter has been extensively updated and revised.. Each chapter has been extensively updated and revised. In addition, a dozen ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in ...

Polymers are made by chemical reactions that join lots of small molecules together to make long molecules. For example, a molecule of poly(ethene) is made by joining ...

This clip could lead into broader discussion of different polymers, their properties and uses. Students could work in groups to list all the uses for polymers in their everyday life.

Polymer chemistry is the study of the synthesis, characterization and properties of polymer molecules or macromolecules, which are large molecules composed of repeating chemical subunits known as ...

By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have ...

The properties of 2D materials, such as graphene, arise not only from their composition but also their sheet-like structures. Synthetic 2D polymers made from well-defined monomers promise to ...

WACKER is all set to showcase a new generation of silane-terminated polyethers at the European Coatings Show 2025: GENIOSIL® STP-E 140 and GENIOSIL® STP-E 340. These novel polymers can be formulated ...
