Polymer science or macromolecular science is a subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics and

crystals. Polymers are studied in the fields of polymer science (which includes polymer chemistry and polymer physics), biophysics and materials science and

Journal of Polymer Science is a peer-reviewed journal of polymer science currently published by John Wiley & Sons. It was originally established as the

properties. The materials science field has since broadened to include every class of materials, including ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, magnetic

In materials science, a thermosetting polymer, often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is obtained by irreversibly hardening ("curing") a soft solid

In polymer chemistry, polymerization (American English), or polymerisation (British English), is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a

ring-opening polymerization of lactide [–C(CH 3)HC(=O)O–] 2, the cyclic dimer of the basic repeating unit. Often PLA is blended with other polymers. PLA can

A polymer electrolyte is a polymer matrix capable of ion conduction. Much like other types of electrolyte—liquid and solid-state—polymer electrolytes aid

Chain-growth polymerization (AE) or chain-growth polymerisation (BE) is a polymerization technique where monomer molecules add onto the active site on
