  • Tacticity in Polymers

    In the context of polymer science, what does the terms isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic signify? A. Polymers can be classified into three types, namely isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic, based on the tacticity of the polymer.

  • Redox cycling process in a conducting polymer membrane

    The actuation mechanism is based on the migration of ions in and out of the polymer during redox cycling. The process of polymer growth and redox cycling can hence be monitored by a electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance.

  • Polymerization Branching Mechanism

    Both double bonds break, and the inner pair of carbons form a new double bond: These monomers can now form a polymer: Occasionally, only one double bond breaks and this inserts itself into the polymer: The -CH=CH2 group has become a sidechain
