Polymerization processes conducted with one kind of monomer are called ‘single polymerizations’ (or ‘homopolymerizations’). Alternatively, polymerizations conducted with two or more kinds of monomers ...

A professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering used a lab reactor, liquefied catalyst, and machine learning for more efficient polymerization design. The synthesis of plastic precursors, such as ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

Given a choice, manufacturers of high-performance composites might prefer to make parts for a variety of applications from reinforced thermoplastics rather than reinforced thermosets. Thermoplastics ...

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new polymerization technique that chains chemical reactions in sequence, much like toppling dominoes, to produce sulfur-containing ...
