In this review article, we discuss the synthesis and dynamic nature of macromolecular systems that have mechanically linked polymer chains capable of undergoing a topology transformation driven by a ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

The analysis of macromolecules and polymers is most frequently carried out using the technique of Gel Permeation/Size Exclusion Chromatography (GPC/SEC). As the technique has increased in popularity ...

Very long linear macromolecules can occur as fluid polymers at temperatures above their point of crystallization. These are commonly referred to as polymer melts and are key ingredients in many modern ...

A recent study published in Advanced Science examines how the structure of linear polymer cathodes affects the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Focusing on the role of active site ...

Developing a practical polymer that can break down to its monomer and then be repolymerized over and over again has been a long-standing goal of plastics makers and recycling advocates. Such a ...
