Polymerization reactions and resulting molecular weight distributions; modeling of polymerization kinetics; batch, continuous stirred tank and tubular flow reactor design for optimal polymerizations; ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In ...

Jia Niu of Boston College will present two examples of another promising approach towards creating degradable vinyl polymers--the radical ring-opening polymerization of cyclic monomers. Existing ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing ...
