Even though there are many photocurable compositions that are cured by cationic
photopolymerization mechanisms, UV curing generally consists of the formation of cross …

Recent environmental issues raised by the durability of polymers call for designing
degradable products. Hydrogels with widespread applications in superabsorbent and …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

Poor selectivity is a common problem faced by gas sensors. In particular, the contribution of
each gas cannot be reasonably distributed when a binary mixture gas is co-adsorbed. In this …

Heterometallic supramolecular polymers (HMSPs) comprising two or more heterometal ions
have drawn significant research interest in the last two decades because of their attractive …

As physical chemistry transitioned to computational chemistry, a new growth occurred in the
field with the advent of predictive catalysis, making it a key player in the optimization and …

Supramolecular polymers represent ordered nanostructures that are held together by highly
directional noncovalent bonds and can undergo reversible self-assembly. Their noncovalent …

Mussel-inspired polymeric materials have found a broad range of applications not only in
adhesives, coatings, and tough hydrogels but thanks to self-healing and stimuli …

Various transient and permanent bonds are commonly combined in increasingly complex
hierarchical structures to achieve biomimetic functions, along with high mechanical …

The low percentage of recyclability of the polymeric materials obtained by olefin transition
metal (TM) polymerization catalysis has increased the interest in their substitution with more …
