Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

This method is used to produce PVC. Controlled/’living’ (or radical) polymerization (CRP) is used to prepare copolymers and incorporates a broad spectrum of radical monomers that can be co-polymerized ...

During this free webinar, Professor Harm-Anton Klok from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland will introduce polymer brushes, focusing on the key grafting-from techniques ...

She and her group previously found that polymethacrylates made via controlled radical polymerization can be unzipped with heat, but that process works only if the polymer has end groups that can ...

Researchers in the US have developed a novel way to overcome one of the major hurdles preventing the widespread use of controlled radical polymerisation. A technique called Atom Transfer Radical ...

A pair of researchers at the University of North Carolina has developed a way to use an organocatalyst to stereocontrol polymerization. In their paper published in the journal Science, A.

Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, received the Fred Kavli Innovations in Chemistry Award for revolutionizing polymer chemistry by developing atom ...
