Illustration of the structural formula of ethylene or ethene molecule C2H4. It is the simplest representative of hydrocarbons from the group of alkenes and colorless flammable gas. It is used for the ...

Common bacteria can turn plastic waste into the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen, researchers have discovered.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for ...

Analytical chemistry researchers at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) have ...

Here's a rather novel way to keep trash out of landfills: engineering biologists at the University of Edinburgh have ...

This study introduces a phonon-based theoretical framework for liquids, marking a major step toward a universal equation of state with broad implications across physics, chemistry and engineering ...

It is known that space charge is formed in cables insulated with crosslinked polyethylene. It is probable that the crosslinking byproduct or the crosslinked polymer morphology is responsible for the ...

The dehydration and dehydroxylation processes (25–375 °C) of a variety of Mg and Al containing layered double hydroxides (LDHs), (Mg1–xAlx(OH)2(An–)x/n·yH2O, where x = 0.197–0.273 and An– = NO3–, ClO4 ...

Creating C═C bonds as “weak” sites in the stable C–C chains of polyethylene (PE) is an appealing strategy to promote sustainable development of the polyolefin industry. Compared to methods, such as ...
