Cationic polymerization represents a pivotal technique in modern polymer chemistry, enabling the synthesis of polymers via the formation of carbocationic intermediates. This mechanism is highly ...
Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...
Researchers create 'living' polymers that grow, degrow, and reprogram their properties after fabrication using reversible chemistry and light-activated catalysts.
