A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...

As demand for advanced polymeric materials increases, post-functionalization has emerged as an effective strategy for designing functional polymers. This approach involves modifying existing polymer ...

Blending, grafting, curing, and functionalization are all techniques to modify the characteristics of a polymer. Blending is the process of physically mixing two (or more) polymers to obtain the ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

It can be difficult to carry materials innovation from discovery through commercialization, as it requires people at every level of the supply chain to take risks ...
