Anionic polymerizations of methacrylates are controlled processes that give well-defined materials; however, these polymerizations require reactive and pyrophoric organolithium reagents for initiation ...

The electrodeposition of polyaniline films is usually carried out in acid solutions such as hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid or sulfuric acid, and more rarely in organic acids such as ...

Biomass-derived materials possess vast potential for material science and industry in the next decades. Dwindling fossil resources and an increasing environmental awareness increase the demand for ...

Poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) is an anionic polypeptide that is a highly versatile, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer that fulfils key requirements for use in a wide variety of biomedical ...

Living anionic polymerization of acrylates is challenging due to intrinsic side reactions including backbiting reactions of propagating enolate anions and aggregation of active chain ends. In this ...

The review summarizes current trends and developments in the polymerization of alkylene oxides in the last two decades since 1995, with a particular focus on the most important epoxide monomers ...

ABSTRACT: As anyone who has taught polymer chemistry to undergraduate students might already appreciate, we are faced with inherent difficulties in clearly communicating the subject matter due its ...

Sequence control of a synthetic polymer is most easily accomplished by using a synthetic technique that allows the sequential addition of one or more monomers to the macromolecule in a chain growth ...
