In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global chemical and specialty materials company, is increasing prices for its vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), vinyl-based emulsions, redispersible powders (RDP ...

It’s technically a polymer: a substance made of large molecules, which are themselves made up of smaller chemical units called monomers. Examples of polymers include proteins, cellulose ...

after mixing the two monomers together in water, the researchers observed two separated liquids. One was thick and viscous and contained the important structural cross linked salt bridges, while the ...

Lysins, for example, are produced by phage viruses (which prey on bacteria) and have gathered momentum as antimicrobial agents. However, clinical studies so far have largely focused on using ...

A number of monomers containing polar functional groups have been successfully polymerized by ATRP. They include acrylonitrile (AN),(1-5) (meth)acrylamides,(6,7) 4-vinyl pyridine (4VP),(8,9) ...

His hierarchy of needs describes several levels of the the human experience, with examples of how each need can be fulfilled. The corresponding theory poses each level must be sufficiently met ...

This article examines the definition of physical activity, the benefits, and risks, how to modify activities, examples, warmups, and cooldowns. According to the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Epoxy resin monomers used in industry can result in severe contact allergies. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now developed a new type of epoxy resin monomer that is far less ...
