Stimuli-degradable cross-linked polymers were developed by applying both topological linkage and size-complementarity of rotaxane to cross-link structure. Radical polymerization of a common vinyl ...

Mixing the unmixable: Novel approach for efficiently fusing different polymers Date: January 22, 2020 Source: Tokyo Institute of Technology Summary: Cross-linked polymers are structures where ...

The new cross-linking molecule also functions as a universal adhesive for polymers, making it possible to stick virtually any polymer to itself or a different material.

Cross-Linked Polymer Captures CO 2 Carbon Capture: The low-cost material can effectively absorb the greenhouse gas, even under wet and acidic conditions like those found in power-plant gas streams ...

This goal was achieved by introducing moieties capable of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) in the resin matrix and at the resin-filler interface of thermosetting polymers to relax internal and applied ...

Elastic polymers, or 'elastomers,' have various applications, including in car tires and shock absorbers, and their properties are governed by the density of cross-linked polymer chains ...

Yu Yanagisawa, Yiling Nan, Kou Okuro, Takuzo Aida, Mechanically robust, readily repairable polymers via tailored noncovalent cross-linking, Science, Vol. 359, No ...

A recent review article in Polymer Journal discussed using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to analyze insoluble polymers, such as cross-linked ...

By using special cross-linked polymers, the new electrolyte gets stiffer under heat rather than breaking down.
