Since the 1920s when Hermann Staudinger pioneered theories on "macromolecules," covering both natural and synthetic polymers, this concept captured the imagination of chemists to design a wide range of molecular architectures of polymeric materials with fascinating and innovative applications. Polymers were...
With the praiseworthy intent of allowing enzymologists and polymer scientists to learn from each other, the SRC Enzyme Chemistry and Technology Committee organised a meeting on January 2 and 3 at Cambridge. In three sessions the meeting dealt with synthetic polymers, structural natural polymers and...

Examples include the harnessing of conductive, charge‐shifting, thermo‐responsive, self‐healing, fluorescent or degradable properties. Synthetic conductive polymers find increasing use in thermoelectrics and bioelectronics. Thelakkat and co‐workers review topical advances in the synthesis of conjugated ...

A biodegradable interpolymer and composition is prepared by the reactive blending of a synthetic polymer having functional groups with a naturally occurring biodegradable polymer such as a carbohydrat
3.1.3Synthetic polymers Synthetic polymersare synthesized in laboratories from low-molecular-weight compounds (monomers). Examples of such polymers include nylon,Terylene,polyethylene(mass-produced plastic used in packaging), PS,synthetic rubber,polyvinyl chloride(PVC), Bakelite, andTeflon. Examples of pol...
In the last half of the twentieth century, chemists invented dozens of different kinds of synthetic polymers. Most of these compounds were developed to have certain special and desirable properties, such as toughness; resistance to wear; low density; resistance to water, acids, bases, and other ...
a transformation accomplishes the conversion of an ester C(sp3)–O bond into more valuable C–N sulfonamide functionalities in not only TAGs, but also many other 1,2- and 1,3-diol diesters, even including esters of many natural polyols such as sugar alcohols and synthetic polyester polymers....
In fact, the ingenious and reasonable synthetic strategies of the limited components can always make natural materials achieve a superior performance that is far beyond their own. Meanwhile, the local properties can determine the overall performance through regulating multiple characteristics, including ...
