Polymer chemistry is central to the development of new technologies and substances. Materials based upon natural and synthetic organic macromolecules, polymers, and hybrid derivatives have enormous ...

The polymers around us are basically a disordered mess, with long chains of atoms tangled around each other. But starting around 1990, chemists began developing techniques that allow us to build ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural ...

Overview of organic synthetic macromolecules -- Thermal decomposition of polymers -- Review of analytical pyrolysis instrumentation -- Information generated from analytical pyrolysis studies -- ...

Researchers in Singapore used a biomass-derived polymer to increase the efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell. The cell was also found to obtain a 90% efficiency retention after ...

Macromolecular engineering, i.e., the preparation of well-defined polymers with controlled architecture, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and end-functionalities by living cationic, ...

Researchers from Zhengzhou University, under the direction of Professor Chenkai Sun, created an innovative low-cost polymer material for Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) that achieves previously unheard-of ...

This symposium features presentations in the area analytical and materials chemistry from speakers who were mentored and influenced by LSU Boyd Professor Isiah M. Warner In honor of the 95th ...
