Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone ...

Scientists in the U.S. have developed polymer microparticles that can release vaccines at specific times after injection, sometimes even months later, potentially removing the need for multiple ...

Around the world, 20% of children are not fully immunized, leading to 1.5 million child deaths each year from diseases that are preventable by vaccination. About half of those underimmunized children ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. Star polymers bearing vinyl-functionalized hyperbranched cores were successfully prepared at moderate-to-high ...

Life on Earth possesses an exceptional ability to self-reproduce, which, even on a simple cellular level, is driven by ...

The ROP of macrocyclic carbonates (MCs) enables the synthesis of more advanced polymer structures and architectures by varying initiating species and through sequential monomer addition. This is ...

The team's decoding method takes advantage of the fact that certain chain-like polymers can be broken down by removing one building block at a time from the end of the chain. Since the monomers ...

Building on their previous work on polyurethane-based data storage, the researchers created a series of four monomers ... Radboud University who researches polymer-based data storage but was ...
