Abstract: Aliphatic polyamides, or nylons, are typically highly crystalline and thermally robust polymers used in high-performance applications. Nylon 6, a high-ceiling-temperature (HCT) polyamide from ε-caprolactam, lacks expedient chemical recyclability, while low-ceiling temperature (LCT) nylon 4 from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c12897
Abstract: Stereo-defects present in stereo-regular polymers often diminish thermal and mechanical properties, and hence suppressing or eliminating them is a major aspirational goal for achieving polymers with optimal or enhanced properties. Here, we accomplish the opposite… read more here.
