Polymer nanoparticles formed by polymerization-induced self-assembly inhibited ice recrystallization primarily through their ...

Dr. Tomonori Saito is a synthetic polymer chemist, who has extensive experience in the synthesis of well-defined polymers via living/controlled polymerization as well as post-modification of various ...

Ten years ago, when the industry was struggling to deliver EUV lithography, directed self-assembly (DSA) roared to the forefront of research and development for virtually every manufacturer determined ...

Electrophoretic techniques separate charged molecules in an electric field. The mobility of a molecule is inversely proportional to its size and directly proportional to its charge. During ...

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 ...

Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, Ukraine. Emulsion polymerization was developed at the end of XIX century as an attempt of reproduction of a polymer discovered in rubber-bearing plants [1] ...

Because of their rheological properties various microbial polysaccharides are applied as thickeners and viscosifiers both in food and non-food industries. A broad variety of microorganisms secrete ...

A new photoinitiating system for anionic polymerization of acrylates based on the efficient photodecarboxylation of Ketoprofen (1) and the related derivatives 3 and 4 that generate the corresponding ...

We hereby report a strategy to synthesize sequence-regulated substituted polyacetylenes using living anionic polymerization of designed monomers, that is, 2,4-disubstituted butadienes. It is found ...
