The major purpose of this project was to work toward the development of a new generation of synthetic condensation-type polymers of high added value by taking as models the sophisticated functional ...

In order to develop a novel phenolic resin, we attempted to use the methylol moiety on the benzene ring, which is formed as an intermediate during the acid-catalyzed addition–condensation reaction ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have created humidity regulating films incorporating salts that absorb water vapour leading to extended shelf life and better product appeal. Sven ...

A new study uncovers revealing insights into how plastic materials used in electronics are formed, and how hidden flaws in their structure could be limiting their performance. Subscribe to our ...

Gene therapy can only be effective if delivered by a stable complex molecule. Now, scientists have determined the conditions that would stabilize complex molecular structures that are subject to ...

A new study uncovers revealing insights into how plastic materials used in electronics are formed—and how hidden flaws in their structure could be limiting their performance. Conjugated polymers are a ...
