The molecular mass of polymers is a critical factor that influences their properties and applications. Unlike small molecules, polymers consist of a distribution of molecular weights and shapes.

Synthetic polymers are a crucial, yet often overlooked, aspect of daily life. From the hard plastics used in packaging and consumer products to biocompatible coatings for medical materials, to ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...
