ATRP is mechanistically related to transition metal mediated atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions(1) and indeed this relationship was the reason this transition metal mediated controlled ...

By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In this process, optically ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, ...

The findings are published in Nature Protocols. In this study, the researchers demonstrated the initiation of polymerization ...

Reactions usually occur on the C≡N triple bond ... which produces an amino group and initiates polymerization to form a dimer, 1D chain, and 2D nanoribbon with mixed sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon. Finally ...

When the degree of polymerization is high, the helical region can appear ... which was shown to be coupled to chemical reactions as the helix travels to the coil. Despite the difference in the driving ...

A number of research directions related to synthesis, characterization, and multi-scale modeling are discussed in order to harness autocatalytic reactions in a useful manner for different applications ...

This dual-ligand strategy is expected to pave the way for the development of new enantioselective catalysts that could achieve more perfect AKRP reactions. More information: Xuanhua Guo et al ...
