Thiolactones are often described as latent thiols. They can be ring-opened by hydroxy or
amine groups releasing thiols, which can further react with a large variety of functional …

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has emerged as a significant method in polymer
synthesis, with a focus on designing and creating diverse cyclic monomers that enhance …

Polymer brush-coated magnetic nanoparticles have been used in many applications, from
localized drug delivery to imaging. In this study, polymer brush-coated iron oxide magnetic …

Thiolactones (TL) can be readily incorporated into polymeric materials and have been
extensively used as a ligation strategy despite their limited reactivity toward amine …

A simple and an efficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of polyesters
containing pendant thiolactone units. For this purpose, polyester P1 possessing electron …

Glycopolymers are functional polymers with saccharide moieties on their side chains and
are attractive candidates for biomaterials. Postpolymerization modification can be employed …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2018 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …
