CU Boulder News & Events: Design of Functional Thermotropic LC Monomers for Noncentrosymmetric Polymers
Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has emerged as a highly versatile synthetic strategy to produce polymers with controlled architectures and tailored functionalities. By utilising cyclic monomers, ROP ...
Phys.org on MSN: Light-triggered process breaks down polymers into monomers for easier recycling
A team of materials scientists and engineers at ETH Zurich has developed a light-triggered chemical process for breaking down certain polymers into their constituent monomers. The paper is published ...
A paper was published by Kazan Federal University's Organic Compounds Lab in Reactive and Functional Polymers. One of the key objectives for contemporary chemistry is to improve thermomechanical ...
The modern technical definition of a functional is a function from a vector space into the scalar field. For example, finding the length of a vector is a (non-linear) functional, or taking a vector and returning the 3rd coordinate (relative to some basis) is a (linear) functional. But in a classical sense, functional is an antiquated term for a function that takes a function as input. For ...
Functional neurologic disorder (FND) reflects functional network dysregulation rather than structural pathology. Effective treatment focuses on education, expectation setting, family engagement and graded rehabilitation to restore movement and participation. FND is a condition in which neurological ...
Overview Functional dyspepsia is a term used to describe a lingering upset stomach that has no obvious cause. Functional dyspepsia (dis-PEP-see-uh) also is called nonulcer dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia is common. It is a constant condition, but symptoms don't happen all the time. Symptoms are like those of an ulcer. They include pain or discomfort in the upper belly, bloating, belching and ...
