Ultra-long polymers are used widely in high-performance applications including energy-efficient lubricants, working fluids for energy production and performance plastics. Yet they also are often ...

Making complex polymers with precisely controlled structures becomes much simpler thanks to a new ‘one-pot-and-one-step’ synthesis procedure. Research at Hokkaido University brings a new level of ...

Plastic production has increased at an incredible rate since its introduction in the 1950s, with over 380 million tons of polymer resin and fiber produced globally, with numbers still rising. This is ...
