Abstract: Environmentally-friendly polymers which can be recycled and reused at the end of life are urgently needed for the development of advanced high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. Polymer ...

Abstract A new electrophilic polymer, 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-DNP), having a degree of substitution of 0.5 was prepared from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ...

This article explores the recent advancements in the numerous applications of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and its various composites.

The fabrication method to utilize poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogels with additional stiff parts in a single structure for hydrogel-based soft robots to realize an intensive motion with elastic energy is ...

Here we synthesized a series of star-shaped isobutyl-substituted caged silsesquioxane derivatives with aliphatic linking chains of different lengths, and their optical properties and ...

The thermosensitive phase separation of poly (vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) aqueous solutions has been investigated using near-infrared spectroscopy in combination with two-dimensional correlation ...

Polyphenylene ether is produced by a process based on oxidative coupling of phenolic monomers. The result, a resin that has good mechanical stability, is then blended with polystyrene to improve ...
