Abstract Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) polymerization was established decades ago
and has since developed into a robust and reliable technique. A wide range of different, new …

Acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization is a unique strategy for achieving
polymers with precise control over the primary structure. This precision is obtained by …

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used commercial plastic due to its excellent
mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and water vapor barrier properties. However …

Recent development in efficient synthesis of (unsaturated) 1, ω-fatty acid diesters (and the
diols), which can be used as monomers for synthesis of long chain aliphatic polyesters …

Semicrystalline polymers with bimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD) have captured
broad interest in academia and industry. Current efforts to understand the effect of bimodal …

Bimodal polyethylenes (PEs) have captured broad attention in recent years, while little is
known about the contribution of bimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD) shape on their …

Aliphatic long-chain polyesters (ALCPEs) were synthesized using the ring-opening
metathesis copolymerization of ambrettolide and cis-cyclooctene followed by exhaustive …

Using all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we demonstrate that short alkyl
branches can hinder the nucleation of polyethylene (PE) oligomers. Although one methyl …

The manipulation of the crystallization kinetics and crystallinity of polymers without altering
their chemical composition, chain structure, or average molecular weight is challenging …

Precision linear vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) copolymers containing acetoxy groups on
precisely every eighth backbone carbon were synthesized by ring-opening metathesis …
