Photocatalysis, a technology that converts solar energy into chemical reactions, holds immense promise for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution. However, traditional crystalline ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. Following numerous experiments, researchers developed a new model to predict the ...

The preparation of dense Si 3 N 4-based ceramics has attracted great attention due to the achievable improvements in mechanical properties and high-temperature oxidation resistance. In general, the ...

The aliphatic polyketone copolymers (PK copolymer) are composed of a perfectly alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethylene. Despite being a relatively new family of polymers, these ...

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are typically produced through crystallization. In this process, an organic molecule can take on multiple crystalline forms. Solid-state characteristics, ...

Responsive polymers and smart materials adapt to stimuli, providing solutions to drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even ...
