Polymerisation processes and computational methods to control structure This session will discuss how to regulate, control and effect control over polymer sequences, structures, architectures and ...

Addition polymerisation- Higher tier A polymer is a long chain molecule made up of small, repeating units. Poly(ethene) is a polymer made from a very large number of ethene molecules bonded together.

National 4; Properties of plastics Polymerisation. Plastics are a group of important materials. They are long-chain molecules called polymers and can be made by joining many monomer units together ...

Two-photon polymerisation occurs when pulses are focused into a photosensitive material and this initiates the process via two-photon absorption. After the illumination, the 3-D structure from ...

The 3D printing approach is based on multiphoton polymerisation, which ensures that polymerisation takes place at the precise laser focal point. It allows direct fabrication of 3D parts that range in ...

PG5 could store drugs within its complex, tree-like folds Meet PG5, the largest stable synthetic molecule ever made. With a diameter of 10 nanometres and a mass equal to 200 million hydrogen atoms ...

The polymerisation reaction is usually carried out at temperatures in the range –100°C to control the reaction rate. At higher temperatures, the reaction proceeds too fast to control. Key Prope rties: ...

Controlled polymerisation has revolutionised academic polymer synthesis and traditionally uses one of two techniques: with sulfur or with copper. Both techniques have drawbacks, ...

The future opportunities to combine effective polymerisation and depolymerisation strategies into the design of polymer structures is at the heart of this session and the associated discussions.
