A unique and versatile method for forming optically (that is, orientationally) and spatially patterned polymer architectures was developed based on the photopolymerization of reactive mesogens (RMs) ...

Scanning ultraviolet (UV) light through a slit can boost the efficiency of photopolymerization reactions and produce polymers with higher molecular weight, scientists reveal. This straightforward ...

Polymers are materials made out of long, repeating chains of molecules, and it is the interaction between these chains that dictate most of a polymer’s physicochemical properties. In accordance with ...
