Applied ionic liquids research is rapidly extending its reach at a number of fronts in polymer science and technology. In the past few years, these liquids have not only been employed as solvents for ...

IP’24 will be the latest in a series of successful meetings, the most recent of which were held in Ghent (Belgium, 2022), Beijing (China, 2019), Durham (UK, 2017), Bordeaux (France, 2015), Awaji ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

Addition polymerizations of vinyl monomers are roughly classified into two types (i.e., ionic and radical polymerizations). Ionic polymerization is difficult to adapt for use in the industrial ...

Many materials in the modern world--from the plastics that dominate it to the electronic chips that drive it--are constructed of polymers. Given their ubiquity and the evolving requirements of our ...
