Novel insight into low-temperature performance of various poly(alkyl methacrylate) homopolymers in lube oil [PDF]
In this particular study, shear stability, pour point temperature and cold cranking simulation viscosity of different poly (alkyl methacrylate) homopolymers were investigated.

Chain Conformations and Phase Separation in Polymer Solutions with Varying Solvent Quality [PDF]
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the conformations of a single polymer chain, represented by the Kremer-Grest bead-spring model, in a solution with a Lennard-Jones liquid as the solvent when the interaction strength between the polymer and solvent is varied.

Polymer Science: The Next Generation [PDF]
Shiyong Liu The three of us have to confess we felt a bit over-age when the editors of the Macromolecular Journals approached us for editing a young investigators issue for Macromolecular Rapid Communications . Although we would prefer not to think about it, this forced us to admit that we are slowly reaching the senior scientist category (i.e., the ...

Mechanochemically accessing a challenging-to-synthesize depolymerizable polymer
Polymers with low ceiling temperatures (Tc) are highly desirable as they can depolymerize under mild conditions, but they typically suffer from demanding synthetic conditions and poor stability.

The Next 100 Years of Polymer Science
The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the first article on polymerization, published by Hermann Staudinger. It is Staudinger who realized that polymers consist of long chains of covalently linked building blocks.

AbstractMolecular level studies of the structure and mechanical properties of polymer surfaces have been carried out by sum frequency generation (SFG) surface vibrational spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The surfaces of different grades of polyethylene and polypropylene have been characterized—including during the glass transition and ...

Isosorbide-Based Thermoplastic Polyurethane with Different Polyols and Soft/Hard Ratios
A series of isosorbide-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (ISB-TPUs) with different soft/hard ratios have been successfully step polymerized using individual two types of polycaprolactone diol (PCL) or poly (tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG) for soft segment ...

Engineering polymer informatics: Towards the computer-aided design of polymers [PDF]
The computer-aided design of polymers is one of the holy grails of modern chemical informatics and of significant interest for a number of communities in polymer science. The paper outlines a vision for the in silico design of polymers and presents an
