2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

Scientists solve a long-standing block copolymer research conundrum through polymer chain end modifications. The study garners substantial academic attention by achieving tangible manifestations of ...

Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...
