The team constructed several polymers, each having a water-insoluble backbone with different water-soluble carbohydrates dangling from the repeating units like charms on a bracelet. In initial ...

A squirt of this polymer binds with cadmium, forming a cloudy precipitate, and then a little bit of acid releases the heavy metal, redissolving the polymer. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

A recent article published in ACS Central Science introduced a bioinspired polymer system containing carbohydrates for ...
