Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the characterization of polymers, providing unparalleled insights into molecular weights, chemical compositions, and sequence distributions.

Studying polymers is the most widespread use of thermal analysis. It is used to measure the physical properties of materials as well as their thermal and mechanical history. This is used to estimate ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

Comprehending the thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability and physical characteristics of polymers is key to development success. The following case studies summarize experimental methods and data ...

Chemists grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever made on a surface, nearly one micrometer long, using a clean process that enables precise nanoribbons.

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.
