Cationic polymerization is a powerful strategy for the production of well-defined polymers
and advanced materials. In particular, the emergence of living cationic polymerization has …

As the typical highly exothermic polymerization, cationic polymerization suffers from harsh
reaction conditions and poor control of polymerizations. The combination of microreactor …

Anion-binding interactions in nature have enabled the development of organocatalytic
transformations; however, even though ionic species act as intermediates or precursors in …

Poly (disulfide) s are an emerging class of sulfur-containing polymers with applications in
medicine, energy, and functional materials. However, the constituent dynamic covalent S–S …

Tacticity is a crucial factor affecting the properties of synthetic polymer materials. Here, we
introduce a type of chiral organic Brønsted acid catalyst, 1, 1′-bi-2-naphthol-derived N, N …

Poly (vinyl ethers)(PVEs) have many applications, such as adhesives, lubricants, and
anticorrosive agents, thanks to their elastic, nonirritating, and chemically inert properties …

Isotactic poly (vinyl ether) s (PVEs) have recently been identified as a new class of
semicrystalline thermoplastics with a valuable combination of mechanical and interfacial …

Cationic reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations have
permitted the controlled polymerization of vinyl ethers and select styrenics with predictable …

Exploiting non‐covalent interactions to catalyze challenging ionic polymerizations is an
ambitious goal but is in its infancy. We recently demonstrated non‐covalent anion‐binding …

Cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) was investigated using Schreiner's
thiourea (STU) combined with Im-TEPB bearing a 2-iodoimidazolium cation and a …
