Controlled radical polymerizations (CRP) were pioneered in the late 1970s. Since then,
tremendous investigations have been developed, especially from mid-1990s which …

The ongoing search for environmentally friendlier alternative to the organic solvents used in
chemical processes has led to the development of technologies based on supercritical …

This Review provides comprehensive guidelines for the design of CO2-philic copolymers
through an exhaustive and precise coverage of factors governing the solubility of different …

Herein we review the environmentally friendly synthesis of fluorinated polymers in
supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). Historically, many high-performance fluorinated …

We herein report the synthesis of original vinylidene fluoride (VDF)-based amphiphilic block
copolymers by RAFT/MADIX polymerization. The controlled polymerization of VDF could be …

Supercritical fluid technology has emerged as a cost-effective and low-hazard alternative to
solvent-based methodologies in polymer synthesis, pharmaceutical science, and related …

Block copolymers of poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) with either styrene or methyl
methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized and analyzed with respect to the type of the …

The synthesis and the characterization of fluoroelastomers, based on vinylidene fluoride
