The polymerization–depolymerization dynamics of actin is a key process in a variety of cellular functions. Many spectroscopic studies have been performed in solution, but studies on single actin ...

A team of chemistry and materials science experts has created a novel way to overcome one of the major hurdles preventing the widespread use of controlled radical polymerization. A team of chemistry ...

Polymerization in a batch reactor can be easily controlled by monitoring the dielectric properties. Prior studies have demonstrated that the free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate can be ...

A protocol for ring-opening metathesis polymerization, or ROMP, that uses organic initiators rather than transition-metal catalysts has been developed. The new polymerization method could be a boon to ...

Aqueous free-radical precipitation polymerization is one of the most useful methods to prepare the uniformly sized hydrogel microspheres (microgels), and an understanding of the polymerization ...
