A photoinduced redox reaction is used to cause the contraction of an artificial hydrogel muscle, leading to macroscale actuation and measurable work.
Scientists from the USA and from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia use DFT calculations for investigating the hydrolysis of boronate ester-linked COFs.
Researchers from Linz and Alberta have developed a polymer reaction engineering framework for catalyst kinetic parameters.
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics showcases advances in polymer characterization and morphology
Prof. Lei Fang reviews how co-planar conformation in π-conjugated systems can be locked by using dynamic noncovalent bonds.
It is shown that polymer such as Teflon can be distributed around each grain of ZnO, and this, in turn, allows for use to form a composite material with an electrical conduction that is blocked at low fields and conducts at high field through the quantum mechanical process known as “tunneling”.
Fats and oils derived from plants, microorganisms and animals are an excellent feedstock for the “green” and renewable chemical industry.
The current special issue in Macromolecular Bioscience is published on the occasion of Professor Karel Ulbrich’s 70th birthday
Local control of pens in a large-scale pen array can be achieved by using a nanotube composite that is photo-responsive to fabricate each individual pen.
