Polyolefin elastomers (or POEs) are a relatively new class of polymers that emerged with recent advances in metallocene polymerization catalysts. Representing one of the fastest-growing synthetic ...
Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular ...
On Dec. 23, 2014, this story was updated to correctly note that poly(propylene succinate) is the first example of a epoxide-anhydride copolymer stereocomplex, rather ...
This is the claim of chemical engineers, who believe the new catalyst could be deployed at sites of methane production, including power plants and cattle sheds. “What to do with methane has been a ...
Chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers. This research was published in Nature Catalysis, offering ...
The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...
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 ...
image: RUDN and Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) chemist proposed a protocol for converting cellulose into a catalyst for the synthesis of oxadiazoles. The new approach makes the catalyst 3 times more ...
