Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide with more than 10 million new cases
every year. Tumor-targeted nanomedicines have shown substantial improvements of the …

Here, we present the synthesis and characterization of statistical and block copolymers
containing α-lipoic acid (LA) using reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) …

While many hydrogels are elastic networks crosslinked by covalent bonds, viscoelastic
hydrogels with adaptable crosslinks are increasingly being developed to better recapitulate …

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on poly (acrylate) chemistry are common in a
wide variety of applications, but the absence of backbone degradability causes issues with …

Inspired by the uniqueness of ring-opening polymerization and the ubiquity of sulfur-
containing heterocycles, much attention has been paid to the synthesis of sulfur-containing …

Bottlebrush elastomers have attracted significant attention as a class of super‐soft materials
with a storage modulus (G′) less than the intrinsic entanglement shear modulus (Ge), but …

A robust method is described to synthesize degradable copolymers under aqueous
miniemulsion conditions using α-lipoic acid as a cheap and scalable building block. Simple …

Injectable self-healing hydrogels have found broad applications in drug delivery, tissue
engineering and controlled 3D cell culture. Recently, cyclic disulfides were found to be …

Due to the significance of disulfide bonds within modern material and medicinal sciences,
much attention has been paid to the synthesis of disulfide-containing polymers. Within this …
