Polymer dynamics seeks to unravel how chain architecture, intermolecular interactions and external forces govern the motion and relaxation of macromolecules across time and length scales. Molecular ...

Recent years have seen a growing interest in hyperbranched molecules, polymer structures without loops and hence, topologically speaking, tree-like 1,2,3. It is well known the fact that the insertion ...

Polymers are huge molecules that are made by connecting a series of alike building blocks at low cost. Manufacturers find them appealing due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of processing and ...

The potential of an X-ray spectroscopy technique to shed light on the mysterious phenomena that occur when a liquid nears a glass-like state has been demonstrated by four RIKEN physicists. On cooling, ...
