In contrast to the well-known vinyl polymerization, where the main chain is constructed from two carbon units of vinyl monomers such as ethylene and styrene, the polymerization of diazoacetate ...

Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can connect through their backbones and cross-linked molecules to form ...

The modeling evaluated the effect of five key variables in the polymerization process: the concentration of the initiator, the ratio of solvent to monomer, the proportion of styrene, the ...

The formation of styrene– cyclodextrin complexes improved the polymerization process in several ways. The reaction became faster, and it yielded polymer colloids of identical size. The latter is ...

A cooperation with BASF led to highly reactive alkaline earth metal catalysts for styrene polymerization. In 2004 he became a professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the university of Duisburg-Essen, ...

Upcycling may help remedy the roughly 450 million tons of plastic discarded worldwide annually, of which only nine per cent ...
