Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites occupy a central role in modern manufacturing due to their exceptional balance of mechanical strength, chemical resistance and processability. The injection ...

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely used plastics in the world. By controlling the spatial orientation of the propylene building blocks and additional polar components, it should be possible ...

Isotactic polybutene-1 exhibits a rich polymorphic landscape characterised by at least two principal crystalline modifications: the metastable tetragonal form II and the thermodynamically stable ...

To address the growing concern of accumulated non-degradable plastic waste in the oceans, a research group at Cornell University, USA, has developed a novel high-strength synthetic polymer called ...
