A team of South Korean scientists and chemical company LG Chem Ltd. have developed a new fermentation process that enables polylactic acid polymers and copolymers to be produced in a single-step ...

In living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), a transition-metal–carbene complex polymerizes ring-strained olefins with very good control of the molecular weight of the resulting polymers.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new polymerization technique that chains chemical reactions in sequence, much like toppling dominoes, to produce sulfur-containing ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...
