A new synthetic route to cyclic polymers has been developed in which the ends of growing
polymer chains remain attached to a metal complex throughout the entire polymerization …

Deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope, has been playing important roles in many scientific
areas, including polymer science. The developments of deuteration science and polymer …

Exploring methods of improving the performance of high-voltage cable XLPE insulation is a
hot issue in high-voltage and insulation technology. This paper presented a new method to …

The effects of the placement of short-chain branches (SCB) on crystallization kinetics,
morphology and mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are examined …

Different 13C NMR methods of determining triad distributions in two poly (ethylene-co-1-
hexene) copolymers are examined using high signal-to-noise ratio 13C NMR spectra of the …

Before the application of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to the study of polymer
structure, chain conformation studies were limited to light and small-angle x-ray scattering …

A methodology for estimating the entanglement density in the amorphous phase of
semicrystalline polyolefins was developed. The method is based on the analysis of the …

Narrow metallocene-made random ethylene copolymers display a strong memory effect of
crystallization above their equilibrium melting point akin to the melt memory effect observed …

There are two opposing views on the role of the melting of low-entangled polyethylenes on
the obtained entanglement density in the molten state and the time required for its …

High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) cables are a critical component of tomorrow's power
grids that seamlessly integrate renewable sources of energy. The most advanced power …
