RAFT homopolymerization of vinylbenzyl chloride with benzyl ethyl trithiocarbonate and synthesis of block copolymers from poly(VBC) macro-RAFT agent and N-isopropylacrylamide

Quite recently, Ameduri et al. also studied the kinetics of RAFT polymerization of VBC in the presence of xanthate or trithiocarbonate and found that RAFT polymerization in the presence of ...

Living anionic polymerization of a block copolymer and the preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces based on the method of phase separation

In this work, polystyrene-block-polymethyl methacrylate (PS-b-PMMA) block copolymers were synthesized by sequential living anionic polymerization with n-butyl lithium (n-BuLi) as the initiator, and ...

Defining the mechanism of polymerization in the serpinopathies

The serpinopathies result from the ordered polymerization of mutants of members of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. These polymers are retained within the cell of synthesis where ...
