Temperature variations significantly impact the mechanical properties of polymers, particularly Young's modulus, affecting ...

The polymer, called COP-180, selectively captures gold after it has been leached from e-waste. Credit: Yeongran Hong Text settings ...

where n is Power-law index and k is consistency (Pa-s).Polymer melts typically have n values in the range of 0.2 – 0.6, depending on the type and chemical structure of the polymer. The Power-law model ...

Many polymeric materials crystallize when cooled below their melting temperature. Although progress has been made in our understanding of the crystallization process through both experimental1 and ...

In this study, the researchers have succeeded in synthesizing an atactic C1 polymer with a high melting point by incorporating an amide-linkage into its side-chain. As they expected, the amide ...
