RECENTLY, V. S. Nanda and R. K. Pathria have shown how certain problems from the theory of numbers may be applied to the theory of polymer degradation 1. Their work appears to be one of the very few ...

Knot theory provides a rigorous mathematical framework to classify and study the entanglements that occur in polymer systems. By applying topological methods, researchers can decipher how knots and ...

A recent review from researchers at Peking University, published in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, offers a thorough exploration of open-shell oligomers and polymers. The review covers theory ...

List of Contributors. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Plastics, Polymers and Rubbers by Vibrational Spectroscopy (John M. Chalmers and Neil J. Everall). Spectra Structure Correlations: ...

Tomorrow's specialty plastics may be produced more precisely and cheaply thanks to the apparently tight merger of a theory by a University of Oregon chemist and years of unexplained data from real ...
