Earthworms often form a cluster, from which they can barely free themselves. A similarly active, writhing structure forms when the tentacles of lion's mane jellyfish become entangled. Robotic grippers ...

The intra-polymer structure characteristics of the polymers decide whether a long chain polymer is ‘stiff’ or ‘soft’ or something in between. Inter-polymer forces: There are some polymers that have ...

For example, it is now possible to prepare high molecular weight polymers (molecular weight > 50,000), to control the stereo-structure (tacticity) of the C–C main chain, and to quantitatively ...

As polymers are formed through a process called polymerization, the monomers are connected through a chain. As the chain develops, the structure of the polymer determines its unique physical and ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. ... Plumber's nightmare structure in block polymers Date: January 22, 2024 ...

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. There are natural and synthetic polymers, including proteins and rubber, and glass and epoxies.

In biodegradable systems, the erosion of the polymer molecular structure occurs when the chain fragments in crystalline systems dissolve without any chemical interaction. However, the dissolution ...

Three types of poly(4-diphenylaminostyrene) (PDAS) having different polymer chain structures were prepared by living anionic polymerization, and the electroluminescence of PDAS/tris(8 ...

As polymers are formed through a process called polymerization, the monomers are connected through a chain. As the chain develops, the structure of the polymer determines its unique physical and ...
