Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques, such as reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and nitroxide-mediated ...
A catalyst-free method for pulling apart certain polymers could help speed the industrial adoption of controlled radical polymerization—a polymer-building reaction that’s popular with researchers but ...
PITTSBURGH-Carnegie Mellon University Chemistry Professor Krzysztof Matyjaszewski has received national and regional awards from the American Chemical Society for groundbreaking work in advancing ...
Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...
Researchers have developed a new method for producing polymers with different lengths. This paves the way for new classes of polymer materials to be used in previously inconceivable applications. It ...
Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
