Polymer-based room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials can be efficiently developed by covalently embedding phosphors into the polymer matrix. The process is still, however, highly challenging on a large-scale due ...
(Phys.org)—A group of researchers from the University of Texas have developed a sequential, two-step amine and thiol coupling reaction via click chemistry using a derivative of Meldrum's acid. This reaction is reversible ...
Two CEA-Ibitec-S teams have developed a new "click" chemistry process for specific assembly of two components without modifying their properties or the medium in which the reaction takes place. The process can be carried ...
