Statistical models and approximations occupy a central role in modern polymer physics by providing a rigorous framework for analysing the complex behaviours of polymers. Fundamental approaches, such ...

Viscoelastic polymer dynamics and kinetic models represent a vibrant interdisciplinary field that bridges molecular theory with macroscopic flow behaviour in complex fluids. At its core, the subject ...

A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

eoregularity in the polymer main chain. Accordingly, polymers with low stereoregularity (atactic polymers) tend to be less valuable materials; for example, polypropylene can be a useful material only ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...
