A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

S/O and vinyl isomerization enables ultrafast cationic ring-opening polymerization toward CO 2-derived polythioester with migrated in-chain C=C substituents The ring-opening polymerization of ...

Halogen bonding organocatalysts (R-Hal-B) facilitated smooth living cationic polymerization of vinyl (R-Cl) monomers at room temperature, producing a good amount of pure yield, opening doors to ...

An inexpensive catalyst can convert common commercial polymers to low molecular mass hydrocarbons under mild conditions, according to a new study. The advance may lead to cost-effective ways to ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

What if a machine could suck up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, run it through a series of chemical reactions, and essentially spit out industrially useful plastic? "I think that is something that ...

Researchers have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of hydrocarbons -- compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. For the first ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a method to selectively burn a single molecule within a mixture of hydrocarbons—compounds composed of ...
