This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Solvent effects on monomer reactivity ratio values along with the determination of radical
reactivity ratios, their possible origins as well as their importance in conventional free-radical …

Preparation of model amphiphilic polymer networks (APNs) using various polymerization
mechanisms and/or organic coupling reactions are reviewed. A particular emphasis is made …

Monitoring aquaculture water quality, especially ammonium levels affecting fish health, is
challenging due to limitations in traditional methods. This study presents an innovative …

The high porosity, interconnected pore structure, and high surface area-to-volume ratio
make the hydrophilic nonwoven nanofiber membranes (NV-NF-Ms) promising …

The reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of 2-hydroxethyl
methacrylate (HEMA) from a surface confined, dithio-tethered, chain transfer agent (CTA) …

Microphase separation drives the structure formation in block copolymers (BCP), and it is a
promising and convenient way for the preparation of well-defined hierarchically structured …

We investigated the water structure and the mechanical properties of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl
phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer hydrogels cross-linked with a novel hydrophilic 2 …

Effective control over the thermal behavior and mechanical strength of polymeric materials
has been highly sought for decades and continues to this day, particularly with the urgent …

In order to clarify the role of dispersion on the fire retardant properties of polystyrene/LDH
nanocomposites, two types of composites were prepared. The largely exfoliated …
