Understanding the microscopic catalytic mechanism of the olefin polymerization reaction is crucial for the rational design of next-generation catalysts. However, the dynamic nature of the active ...

Achieving living/controlled supramolecular polymerization (LCSP) of proteins in vitro remains a longstanding challenge in biomaterials science. Here, we find that several native proteins, upon ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

ORNL’s invention may change plastic’s environmental fate by rearranging polymeric building blocks to customize the properties of plastics. Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can ...

The ability to tune polymerization reactions is crucial for designing polymeric materials with desired characteristics and properties. Single-molecule approaches have allowed for the interrogation as ...
