Addition polymers are made from molecules containing C=C bonds. Polymers have different properties and uses but it is difficult to dispose of them. DNA, starch and proteins are biological polymers.

By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material. Upcycling may help remedy the ...

In addition, utilizing the unique structures of the C1 polymers, success was made in preparing C1 polymers with enhanced acidity and much higher melting points, up to 130°C, compared to their ...

The vinyl addition polymerization of norbornyl-based monomers bearing polar functional groups is often problematic, leading to low molecular weight polymers in poor yield. Herein, we provide ...

The effects of recycled spent abrasive particle filler addition on the tensile, flexural, and impact behaviour of the synthesized polymer hybrid composites were examined. Fractured samples with ...
