Surface modifications of polymer fibers and molded articles have been studied because of their importance in industry. Polymer products are required to adjust the surface properties, such as their ...

The significant synthetic challenges inherent in such grafting-from strategies have in the past limited progress in this area. However, controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques have been ...

Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, received the Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Award for revolutionizing polymer chemistry by developing atom ...

Flow chemistry is revolutionizing the way we design and study macromolecules, offering a powerful, complementary approach to materials discovery—one that seamlessly integrates with modern data-driven ...

Polymerization mechanisms and their relation to molecular structure, polymerization process, and the mechanical properties of polymers, especially flow behavior. Textbook Introduction to Polymer ...

The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a process widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and energy devices as it is able to form conducting, semiconducting and dielectric thin films. Here, in the ...

Taking a cue from chemistry that’s common in the pharmaceutical industry, chemists have used chiral anions to control stereochemistry when making poly(vinyl ethers ...

Polymer engineering is undergoing a decisive shift from a discipline dominated by commodity thermoplastics and incremental processing improvements to one defined by performance-by-design, ...

William Graessley, a Princeton professor of chemical engineering emeritus who spent his career seeking elegant solutions to problems involving long, entangled molecules known as polymers, died on Feb.

Important concepts and elements of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology are examined in an experimental context. This course fulfills the requirement for students majoring in ...
