The kinetics of styrene-free radical bulk polymerization was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The data obtained from DSC thermograms were used to model and predict the ...

The recent progress of research on polymer reactions utilizing dynamic covalent exchanges of alkoxyamine units—adducts of styryl and stable nitroxide radicals—is reviewed. The alkoxyamine derivatives ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Polymers such as polystyrene and acrylic resins are used in various plastic products, including food containers, packaging materials, and thermal cases. Traditionally, metal catalysts ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and their partners from Clemson University have discovered a green, low-energy process to break down polystyrene, a type of plastic that ...
