Single-chain crosslinked star polymers with multiple hydrophilic short arms and a hydrophobic core were created as novel microgel star polymers of single polymer chains. The synthetic process involves ...

The group at Polymeric Materials has developed a simple way to regulate both dispersity and sequence in highly complex multiblock copolymers, and the results have been published in Nature Chemistry.

All matter consists of one or more phases—regions of space with uniform structure and physical properties. The common phases of H2O (solid, liquid and gas), also known as ice, water and steam, are ...

With blazing speed and seemingly limitless digital memory, the personal computers of the early 1990s rocketed past those that ranked as state-of-the-art just a couple of years earlier. Within a few ...
