Called "liquid and powder" (or "L and P") by the pros, acrylic nails are typically created by combining polymer powder and liquid monomer. Once you apply the mixture on your fingers—and wait for ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. HB polymers can be defined as structures in which each monomer unit is either a branching unit or a potential branching unit. Resorting ...

Block copolymers comprise at least two polymer segments, each derived from different monomer species, combining the properties of these segments in the same molecule. This makes them appealing for ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...
