Macromolecular conformation often has a significant effect on the properties of polymeric
materials, and hence, conformational control in synthesizing a polymer is an important goal …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

The heart of this review is to give a compact overview of the literature on mass spectrometry
(MS) of polymers published in the time period from 2008 to 2009. Identical to the review from …

A palladium-catalyzed three-component domino reaction to access indene derivatives is
reported. This reaction proceeds via the sequential formation of three bonds: the first two …

Anionic polymerization of benzofulvene (BF, α-methyleneindene), an exomethylene
monomer having a fixed transoid 1, 3-diene moiety, quantitatively proceeded with sec-BuLi …

The anionic polymerization of benzofulvene (BF) quantitatively proceeded with various
initiators, such as sec-BuLi, diphenylmethyllithium, diphenylmethylpotassium …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) forms pericellular coats in many cell types that are involved in the early
stages of cell adhesion by interacting with the CD44 receptor. Based on the largely …

2] Paracyclophane‐based through‐space conjugated oligomers and polymers were
prepared, in which poly (p‐arylene–ethynylene)(PAE) units were partially π‐stacked and …

Polybenzofulvenes are π-stacked polymers, which can be synthesized by spontaneous
polymerization of the corresponding monomers without the use of catalysts or initiators …

A tri-component polymer brush (TCPB), composed of a polybenzofulvene copolymer
bearing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of its cylindrical brush-like …
