Polymers are a popular material for everyday objects and have many industrial applications, with their use increasing rapidly. However, for new polymers to be developed and commercialized is often a ...

Professor Xiaokong Liu's team at Jilin University proposed an "activation-quenching" strategy for dynamic covalent chemistry, achieving precise and controllable "on-off" switching of dynamic bond ...

Studying polymers is the most widespread use of thermal analysis. It is used to measure the physical properties of materials as well as their thermal and mechanical history. This is used to estimate ...

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities. To understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these ...
