"The polymerization of ordinary imidazolium ionic liquid monomers results in a considerable drop in ionic conductivity," Ohno said. "We prepared films with excellent ion conductivity from ...

IP’24 will be the latest in a series of successful meetings, the most recent of which were held in Ghent (Belgium, 2022), Beijing (China, 2019), Durham (UK, 2017), Bordeaux (France, 2015), Awaji ...

Addition polymerizations of vinyl monomers are roughly classified into two types (i.e., ionic and radical polymerizations). Ionic polymerization is difficult to adapt for use in the industrial ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

Many materials in the modern world--from the plastics that dominate it to the electronic chips that drive it--are constructed of polymers. Given their ubiquity and the evolving requirements of our ...
