Silicone polymers, distinguished by their flexible siloxane (Si–O–Si) backbones, have attracted significant research attention due to their unique thermal, mechanical and chemical properties.

Step- and atom-economical catalytic C–H silylations were developed to prepare heteroaryl alkoxysilane monomers for silicone materials. The silylations are operable in the presence of 1–3 mol % of a ...

Ring polysiloxanes offer a promising route to VOC-free silicone coatings without compromising performance; researchers ...

An international team lead by researchers in Germany has discovered a new seaborgium isotope. The experiment, which was ...

An international research team led by GSI/FAIR, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) ...

A new seaborgium isotope may unlock the path to discovering even shorter-lived superheavy nuclei through K-isomer states. An ...

Two new grafted polysiloxane polymers, a copolysiloxane and a terpolysiloxane, have been synthesized. Both polysiloxane backbones are grafted with dialkyl disulfide chains and 600 MW ...

The synthesis of new polyhydrides with high superconducting T c is challenging owing to the high pressures and temperatures required. In this study, we used machine-learning potential molecular ...
