Polymer Nanocomposites Containing Carbon Nanotubes

Mohammad Moniruzzaman, Karen I. Winey · 7 Jul 2006

We review the present state of polymer nanocomposites research in which the fillers are single-wall or multiwall carbon nanotubes. By way of background we provide a brief synopsis about carbon nanotube materials and their suspensions. We summarize and critique various nanotube/polymer composite fabrication methods including solution mixing, melt mixing, and in situ polymerization with a…

Graphene/Polymer Nanocomposites

Hyunwoo Kim, Ahmed Abdala, Christopher W. Macosko · 23 Jul 2010

Graphene has emerged as a subject of enormous scientific interest due to its exceptional electron transport, mechanical properties, and high surface area. When incorporated appropriately, these atomically thin carbon sheets can significantly improve physical properties of host polymers at extremely small loading. We first review production routes to exfoliated graphite with an emphasis on top-down…

Macromolecules template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Macromolecules format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Macromolecules template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Macromolecules use?
Macromolecules uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Macromolecules 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Macromolecules?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Macromolecules document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Macromolecules template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Macromolecules format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Macromolecules?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Macromolecules PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Macromolecules template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Macromolecules template cost?
You can start writing in the Macromolecules template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Macromolecules PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
