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, ...

Novel star block copolymers containing poly(N-vinylimidazolium salt) as a poly(ionic liquid) segment and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAAm)) as a ...

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 ...
