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

Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) techniques, such as reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and nitroxide-mediated ...

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 ...

A catalyst-free method for pulling apart certain polymers could help speed the industrial adoption of controlled radical polymerization—a polymer-building reaction that’s popular with researchers but ...

PITTSBURGH-Carnegie Mellon University Chemistry Professor Krzysztof Matyjaszewski has received national and regional awards from the American Chemical Society for groundbreaking work in advancing ...

Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...

Researchers have developed a new method for producing polymers with different lengths. This paves the way for new classes of polymer materials to be used in previously inconceivable applications. It ...
