Multiblock copolymers (MBCs) are an emerging class of synthetic polymers that exhibit
different macromolecular architectures and behaviours to those of homopolymers or …

This article reviews the development of a novel all-around iterative methodology combining
living anionic polymerization with specially designed linking chemistry for macromolecular …

Laves phases are a class of tetrahedrally close-packed Frank–Kasper phases with AB 2
stoichiometry. While these phases appear as intermetallic line compounds in a variety of …

A significant challenge in block copolymers (BCP) synthesis is to precisely control the block
sequence and customize the composition and structure of target products from monomer …

Phase-separated and self-assembled co-network materials offer a simple route to
bicontinuous morphologies, which are expected to be highly beneficial for applications such …

Inspired by nature's two-stage strategy to efficiently synthesize numerous proteins using
limited amino acids, a two-stage polymer preparation method has been successfully …

End group functionality is a key parameter of functional polymer chains. The end‐capping
efficiency of living polystyryl lithium with various epoxides, namely ethylene oxide (EO) …

Multiblock copolymers, composed of different combinations and number of blocks, offer
appreciable opportunities for new advanced materials. However, exploring this parameter …

The synthesis of cyclic polymers on a large scale is a challenging task for polymer scientists
due to the requirement of ultra-high dilution conditions. In this paper, we demonstrate an …

Molecularly asymmetric triblock copolymers progressively grown from a parent diblock
copolymer can be used to elucidate the phase and property transformation from diblock to …
