Researchers have synthesized electrically conductive polyaniline polymer in common organic solvents. A small quantity of added iodine facilitates the radical chain reaction that is critical to polymer ...

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) characterizes bioplastics as biobased polymers that can be shaped by flow when they are processed, and that are made out of either biomass ...

It is hard to imagine everyday life without materials made of synthetic polymers. Clothes, car parts, computers or packaging - they all consist of polymer materials. Lots of polymers are present in ...

This article will provide an overview of waste sulfur and explore the concept of producing polymers from this by-product for a more environmental solution. Waste sulfuric acid is created as a ...

Researchers have made new discoveries on the effects of temperature on sustainable polymers. Their findings may help the industry to produce plastics that are better for the environment. Researchers ...

Our team used superglue as a starting material to develop a low-cost, recyclable, and easily produced transparent plastic called polyethyl cyanoacrylate that has properties similar to those of ...

Is there a way to obtain fresh water from seawater without employing conventional desalination techniques? A team led by Professor Sebastian Seiffert of the Department of Chemistry at JGU has ...

The world is producing a record amount of single-use plastic waste, mostly made from polymers created from fossil fuels, despite global efforts to reduce plastic pollution and carbon emissions, ...
