Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

This illustration shows the C1 polymer formation, where the Pd-catalyst (red spere) is linearly combining a number of diazoacetate monomers (transparent sphere) to form the polymer main chain. For ...

Pioneering Research in Advanced Materials We’re seeing some really cool stuff happening where quantum science meets materials ...

In materials science, the molecular weight of polymers is a key property that influences various physical characteristics. Previous studies have demonstrated that benchtop NMR can be used to determine ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

Two University of Iowa faculty members have been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation to develop new plastic ...

Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even ...
