in a similar way to chain-growth condensation polymerization 30. In conclusion, this conceptually new synthetic approach based on step-growth C–C bond-forming polymerization leads to structures ...

A U of A engineering researcher is using sunlight and semiconductor catalysts to produce hydrogen by splitting apart water molecules into their constituent elements. "The process to form the ...

Synthesis of polymers by step growth, condensation, suspension and free radical emulsion polymerization techniques. Fundamental concepts in polymerization kinetics and mechanism will be covered as ...

It is formed via ring-opening polymerization, which is unusual for a polyamide as they are typically formed via condensation polymerization. Modifications to PA 6 can be made to increase it's impact ...

and turning it into a material called carbon nitride using heat (this is called thermal condensation polymerization). This carbon nitride, the team explains, readily absorbs sunlight. This gives ...
