The L&P acrylic and dip powder systems are both artificial nail offerings, and popular choices for a long-lasting, durable nail finish. However, they have d ...

Plastics, which are polymeric materials composed of long chains of small molecules called monomers, are widely used in everyday life and industry due to their lightweight, good strength and ...

In this new study, the researchers in Switzerland have developed a way to break down plastics into their monomer constituents, allowing for much easier and cheaper recycling. Plastics are polymers ...

The team designed a unique pentagonal ring-structured molecule that can not only be freely converted between monomers and polymers but also facilitates dynamic covalent exchange reactions in ...

Consolidate students’ understanding of the link between monomers and polymers by setting puzzles in which they have to work out polymer names and structures based on monomer names and structures ...

Plastic has been a revolutionary material over the past century, with an uncountable number of uses and an incredibly low price to boot. Unfortunately, this low cost has led to its use in many ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone ...

but also in the polymers that are entangled between them—and a process that's as simple as baking. Postdoctoral researcher Chen Liang mixed a powder of monomers with water that contains nanosheets.

(PB) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) are widely used polymers in a number of products (including vehicle tires, ...

Polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs) play a vital role in our lives, yet limited attention has been paid to their environmental impacts. We wanted to change that, so we brought together key ...

The team designed a unique pentagonal ring-structured molecule that can not only be freely converted between monomers and ...
