A person holds a giant carton made of paper pulp filled with brown eggs. Egg cartons made from recycled paper pulp are an example of natural polymers used in commercial food packaging. Credit: ...

Polymers today have a bad reputation – the word brings to mind microplastics, pollution, sustainability concerns. But polymers changed materials science by showing that molecular structure could be ...

In ring-slippage, the number of atoms from a carbon ring involved in a particular bond changes. Multiple ring-slippage in 18-electron metallocenes is rare due to their stability, but as seen in this ...
