With increasing environmental and ecological concerns due to the use of petroleum-based
chemicals and products, the synthesis of fine chemicals and functional materials from …

The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-
CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical …

In recent years, environmental and ecological concerns have become a major issue owing
to the expansion of petroleum-based synthetic materials and products, and therefore the …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

Abstract Both Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (SI-ATRP) and Surface-
Initiated Activator Re-Generated by Electron Transfer ATRP (SI-ARGET ATRP) were …

In order to improved the thermal stability and compatibility between cellulose nanocrystals
(CNCs) and poly (lactic acid)(PLA), using activators regenerated by electron transfer …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are rod‐like nanoparticles extracted from cellulose. Due to
their fascinating properties—renewable, biocompatible, non‐toxic, biodegradable, excellent …

A dual-responsive cotton fabric functionalized with a spiropyran–NIPAAm hydrogel, capable
of dimensional changes upon irradiation with visible light or upon a temperature stimulus is …

In this work we describe the grafting of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by surface-initiated
photoinduced Cu-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP). Initially …

Herein, we report a novel class of latex particles composed of a hemicellulose, xyloglucan
(XG), and poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA), specially designed to enable a biomimetic …
