Polymer materials have sparked considerable interest from both academic and industrial
researchers due to their fantastic features and wide applications. The polymer synthetic …

The traditional curing methods for thermosetting resins are energy-inefficient and
environmentally unfriendly. Frontal polymerization (FP) is a self-sustaining process relying …

Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only
theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes …

Frontal polymerization is a mode of converting monomer into polymer via a localized
reaction zone that propagates. Such fronts can exist with free-radical polymerization or …

Introduction. Frontal polymerization entails the conversion of a monomer into a polymer via a
localized exothermic reaction zone that propagates through the coupling of thermal diffusion …

Photoinduced frontal polymerization was performed on a variety of multifunctional (meth)
acrylates, and evaluation of the effect of monomer structure on the ability to sustain a …

The study of hydrogels and their response to external environment is of special interest
because of their potential as drug delivery systems, 1, 2 actuators, 3 and separation devices …

The first synthesis of a polyurethane by frontal polymerization has been successfully carried
out. Namely, the two reactants (1, 6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and ethylene glycol) and …

Ascending frontal polymerization in a body with a moving boundary was accomplished
experimentally. This process was shown to be a steady‐state process within a certain range …

Frontal polymerization (FP) is a polymerization process in which polymerization occurs
directionally. There are three types of FP. The first is isothermal FP, which is discussed in …
