Uncatalyzed radical polymerization of ethylene typically requires high temperature and pressure, and the method isn't efficient for longer simple terminal alkenes, Michl explains. Thus, ...

Cyclopolymerization and metathesis polymerization represent cutting‐edge methodologies in the synthesis of complex polymer architectures. Cyclopolymerization utilises the intramolecular cyclisation of ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...
