Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

Roofing system plays a critical role in the structural integrity of a building. More than just a protective cover, the ...

can be used as a monomer for polycondensation, yielding a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure. For the polycondensation, unique reactivities of diazocarbonyl groups ...

Suggest that students compare how free the single paper clip (or paper circle) is to move compared to a paper clip or paper circle that is part of a chain structure. For high school students, the ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, ...

Plastic waste is a growing environmental crisis, with thermosets among the most problematic materials. These durable plastics, used in car tires, replacement hip joints, and aerospace coatings, resist ...

In fact, the 3D structure of this globular protein is precisely encoded by the sequence of the monomer units in the polymer chain — the so-called primary structure of this macromolecule.

Researchers have developed a recyclable alternative to a durable class of plastics used for items like car tires, replacement hip joints and bowling balls.

Scientists have created a groundbreaking new material inspired by chainmail, and it could change the future of armor. A research team led by Northwestern University has developed the first-ever ...

Overall structure of RmlC RmlC is a ‘mainly beta’ class protein with a jelly roll-like topology. The fold of the main chain is shown in Fig. 2. RmlC monomers have a globular shape with ...

Researchers have developed a bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics that is both tough and fully recyclable. Using ...
