Despite the difficulties associated with controlling the polymerization of ring-strained
nitrogen containing monomers, the resulting polymers have many important applications …

Due to the increasing demand for “smart” materials and systems eg for actuators,
microvalves, but also for drug delivery, electrooptical devices and many other applications …

An ideal system for stimuli-responsive and amphiphilic (block) polymers would be the
copolymerization of aziridines with epoxides. However, to date, no copolymerization of these …

An investigation of the highly relevant copolymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) and
propylene oxide (PO) by in situ1H NMR spectroscopy shows striking differences in the …

In this work, a facile route for the cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of a cyclic
dithiocarbonate derived from N, N-dibenzyl glycidylamine (DBGA) and carbon disulfide has …

An ideal random anionic copolymerization is forced to produce gradient structures by
physical separation of two monomers in emulsion compartments. One monomer (M) is …

Both gradient and block copolymers can be used as drug delivery systems, but their relative
(dis) advantages remain unknown. Thus, we directly compared analogous amphiphilic …

The synthesis of amorphous, polar aliphatic polyethers based on the copolymerization of
propylene oxide (PO) and glycidyl methyl ether (GME) is described. Copolymers with M n of …

Amino-functionalized polyesters (APEs) are a remarkable class of polymeric materials with a
wide range of applications, eg as antibacterial materials, gene delivery carriers, and …

A series of glycidyl amine N-oxide polyethers with cyclic and acyclic amine N-oxide side
groups and their block copolymers with poly (propylene) oxide (M n in the range of 1.8–6.4 …
