Polymer scientists are making continuous efforts to manufacture products with appropriate characteristics for specific applications. The polymer's properties can be altered by tweaking the molecular ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

In this paper, we review the vibrational spectroscopic analyses of the structure and hydrogen bonding of water in the vicinity of various polymers based on research performed by our group. Aqueous ...

A new biomimetic approach to synthesising polymers will offer unprecedented control over the final polymer structure and yield advances in nanomedicine, researchers say. A new biomimetic approach to ...

Polymers are the most widely used materials in the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry. However, there have been instances of unexpected product failure and yield deterioration driven by ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...
