Not surprisingly, this includes the thermoplastic polymers which are commonly used with FDM 3D printing, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyamide (PA, also known as nylon). Although the most ...

A team of bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley, has developed a new kind of environmentally friendly adhesive polymer. In their study, published in the journal Science ...

Focusing on how conjugated polymers can be designed and made for use in efficient organic electronic devices, this book covers the tools for future development of more environmentally and economically ...

Scientists can continue to find innovative polymer research in our existing journal, Polymer Chemistry, and discover interdisciplinary, application-focused work in RSC Applied Polymers. Together, ...

An example of a small molecule is water--it contains three atoms--two of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Polymers are very large molecules compared to water. They have many more atoms than a water ...

Polymers and plastic resins are compounds comprised of two or more repeating organic or synthetic base molecules. They are widely used as raw materials in plastics molding and fabrication operations.

Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...

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 ...
