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

Alkoxyamines represent a versatile class of compounds central to the advancement of controlled radical polymerisation. By undergoing a reversible homolytic cleavage of the C–ON bond, they generate a ...

The synthesis of polymers has always been limited in scope because most chemical reactions are highly sensitive to oxygen. The use of robots has the potential to greatly increase not only the speed of ...

The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

The free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization (FRRPP) process was discovered by the G. Caneba at Michigan Tech in the 1990s as a chain polymerization method, whereby phase separation is ...
