Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...
A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.
The input of fresh carbon can either enhance or suppress the mineralization rate of native soil organic carbon (SOC), a process known as the priming effect. The priming effect plays a crucial role in ...
Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...
Anionic polymerizations of methacrylates are controlled processes that give well-defined materials; however, these polymerizations require reactive and pyrophoric organolithium reagents for initiation ...
Hydrogenated carbon nitride is synthesized by polymerization of 1,5-naphthyridine, a nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compound, under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The ...
Abstract: Epoxy-imidazole thermosetting resins undergo a complex reaction mechanism when heated, involving two simultaneous processes: exothermic addition polymerization and endothermic reactions, ...
Achieving living/controlled supramolecular polymerization (LCSP) of proteins in vitro remains a longstanding challenge in biomaterials science. Here, we find that several native proteins, upon ...
Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...
