The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982 heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …
Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has revolutionized modern polymer chemistry over the past two decades, thus laying the groundwork for the synthesis of …
Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …
This paper provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC (= S) SR) by a …
The current approach to regulating mechanical properties of elastomeric materials is predominately based on the exploratory mixing of different polymers, solvents, and fillers …
Bottlebrushes are fascinating macromolecules that display an intriguing combination of molecular and particulate features having vital implications in both living and synthetic …
This Viewpoint highlights the ability of molecular bottlebrushes to serve as highly tunable building blocks for creating nanostructured materials via molecular templating, solution …
