Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics ...

In the late nineteenth century, a German biochemist found the nucleic acids, long-chain polymers of nucleotides ... needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure, and to understand ...

A 2D mechanically interlocked polymer mimicking chainmail shows high flexibility and stiffness, offering promise for ...

One of the particular difficulties in sorting out the electronic structure of conjugated polymers is their extraordinary sensitivity to chain morphology. It is well known that processing ...

The space available to each polystyrene chain depended on its position in the structure—and, therefore, determined how much ...

By imitating the structure of a protein ... the formation of dimeric complexes between the UPy units of adjacent polymer chains — thus enhancing the ability of the material to recover to ...

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based ... forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules. This means that polymers have a higher melting point than ...
