Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all ...

Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

Semiconducting polymer nanomaterials are advanced π-conjugated polymers with alternating double and single bonds, which allow for π-electron delocalization and intermolecular π−π interactions. Unlike ...
