Making Polymer Chemistry Click

The Science

By using resources and expertise at the Molecular Foundry, researchers from the Scripps Research Institute developed a new chemical process to create polymers containing sulfate or sulfonate. The new process is faster, easier, and cheaper than previous methods. The reaction will lower the cost of bringing these sulfur-containing materials — which could be used to make everything from…
