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 polypropylene copolymers represent a highly versatile class of semi‐crystalline polymers, where the regular arrangement of substituent groups along the polymer backbone promotes a robust ...

Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) remains one of the most important polymers in modern industry, valued for its exceptional combination of strength, stiffness and impact resistance. Its highly regular ...

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 ...

Poly(2-vinylpyridine 1-oxide) inhibits the cytotoxic effects of quartz in cell cultures but the syndiotactic polymer behaves differently from the isotactic and atactic polymers. In each case ...
