Understanding the structure-function relationship of polymers is of critical importance for successful incorporation into commercial applications. In this webinar, Nemal Gobalasingham, Ph.D. will ...

A new way to synthesize polymers, called hydrothermal synthesis, can be used to produce important high-performance materials in a way which is much better for the environment. Dangerous toxins which ...

Molecules that are made up of multiple repeating subunits, known as monomers, which may vary or not in their chemical structure, are classified as macromolecules or polymers. Examples exist in nature, ...

(b) Linear polymers in which the intermolecular forces of attraction are in between those of elastomers and fibres and can be melted again and again on heating followed by moulding to give the desired ...

Studies of the mechanisms of deformation associated with the nucleation and propagation of cracks in crystalline material have shown that there is a close correlation between the dislocation ...

Many materials that we use every day are not sustainable. Some are harmful to plants or animals, others contain rare elements that will not always be as readily available as they are today. A great ...
