The materiality exhibited by humanmade polymers currently relies on simple chemical bonds and the sequence order taken by molecules in the polymer chain. We now no longer need to rely on fate to ...

These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...

Owing to their ease of processing, low weight, high transparency and low cost, optical polymers are widely used as key materials for various optical devices, such as lenses, optical disks and optical ...

Manufactured polymers are ubiquitous in our 21st Century lives. The large molecules - long chains of smaller molecules bonded together, form any synthetic clothing you might be wearing, rubbers and ...
