For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses ...

Xylan is a major interlocking polysaccharide in the cell walls of seed plants, possessing a high structural diversity and cellular specificity in terms of chain polymerization, side chains ...

Polymer synthesis, also called polymerization, is the process by which monomers (small molecules) are covalently bonded to form a (usually long) polymer chain or network. Well-defined vinyl ...

The free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization (FRRPP) process was discovered by the G. Caneba at Michigan Tech in the 1990s as a chain polymerization method, whereby phase separation is ...

“The NSF CAREER-funded project of my lab will develop a new technique that can use radical polymerization to produce plastics with their functional groups incorporated in the backbone, rather than on ...
