There are two types of polymers: synthetic and natural. Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, ...

Studies on different types of polymers like thermoplastics, thermosets, or elastomers-based composites are invited for this special issue. Moreover, the special focus on polymer composites based on ...

Cell walls, composed of different types of polymers including polysaccharides, lignins and proteins, are a specific feature of plant cells. They provide mechanical support to the plant and constitute ...

‘Thermo’ indicates that heat will be involved in the way the polymer is shaped, and ‘set’ means that once the polymer has been set in that shape, heat will not alter the form ...

A ruthenium catalyst facilitated the polymerization, or polymer addition. Industrial firms have used this catalyst to make ...

Recent research has focused on the complex interactions between temperature, strain rate, and the mechanical properties of different types of polymers, including amorphous and semi-crystalline ...
