He coined two terms that are key to understanding polymers: polymerization and macromolecules, according to the American Chemical Society (ACS). He was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1953 ...

Plus, you’ll gain an advanced understanding of macromolecular science and engineering that is necessary for success. Nearly ¾ of our undergraduate polymer majors go on to pursue an advanced degree.

Figure 1: Transformation of an amphiphilic block copolymer and a segmented hyperbranched polymer into various macromolecular architectures via diene displacement reactions. Figure 2: Theoretical ...

On the basis of the systematic classification and isomeric properties of polymer chain topologies, a variety of novel multicyclic macromolecular constructions have now been rationally designed and ...

Ever since the first polymers were discovered, scientists have debated their structures. Before Hermann Staudinger published the brilliant concept of macromolecules, it was generally assumed that the ...

According to Hoshina, "We have, for the first time, shown that terahertz waves can effectively induce a rearrangement of the molecules in polymer macromolecules. The exact mechanism through which ...
