Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

A 2D mechanically interlocked polymer mimicking chainmail shows high flexibility and stiffness, offering promise for ...

These polymers, although presenting a similar molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, have different physical structures which influence their performance in the target application. Hizkia ...

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is very widely used in polymer and materials science to characterize ... improve understanding of mechanisms, and accelerate structure-performance relationship ...

To ensure covalent cross-linking of these fibrin structures, we added preactivated human factor XIIIa (Enzyme Research Laboratories, USA) at 6 μg/mL (final concentration) to the reaction mixture. The ...

A few types of polymers can exhibit long-range order. That is, portions of the chains can arrange themselves into small 3-dimensional structures. Because large polymers are difficult to accommodate in ...

The research and development of nanofibers has gained much prominence in recent years due to the heightened awareness of its potential applications in the medical, engineering and defense fields.

This volume presents the current state of analytical pyrolysis, and contains full identification of several classes of polymers/copolymers and biopolymers that readers will find helpful. Structures ...
