Renewable natural and synthetic basic substances can be used to produce biodegradable polymers. Several methods of the polymerization terpene limonene have been evaluated. The evaluated are radical polymerization, cationic thiol-ene polymerization. free-radical with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator was carried out. out using AlCl3 a catalyst. copolymerization mercaptoethanol, 2-mer...

Purification of synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) is simply achieved by capping failure sequences with a polymerizable phosphoramidite followed by polymerization. In this article, the reduction of the amount of polymerization monomer to drastically increase ODN extraction efficiency, the use of a centrifugal filterunit to ease the extraction process and the notification of using fresh phos...

Photoinitiators (PI) or photoinitiating systems (PIS) usable in light induced cationic polymerization (CP) and free radical promoted cationic polymerization (FRPCP) reactions (more specifically for cationic ring opening polymerization (ROP)) together with the involved mechanisms are briefly reviewed. The recent developments of novel two- and three-component PISs for CP and FRPCP upon exposure t...

Polymer brushes produced by controlled surface-initiated polymerization provide a route to surfaces coated with well-defined thin polymer films that are covalently bound to the substrate. All of the major controlled polymerization techniques have been applied to the synthesis of polymer brushes and examples of each are presented here. Many examples of brush synthesis in the literature have used...

Aqueous emulsion polymerization via reversible complexation mediated living radical yielded low-dispersity poly(methyl methacrylate)s and polystyrenes.

Cobalt complexes supported on silica and Merrifield resin are effective mediators for the controlled radical polymerization of vinyl acetate.

A short but up-to-date review on the role of dyes in the photoinitiation processes of polymerization reactions is presented. Radical and cationic reactions are largely encountered in the radiation curing and the imaging areas for use in traditional coating applications as well as in high tech sectors such as nanofabrication, computer-to-plate processing, laser direct imaging, manufacture of opt...

Hydrogen peroxide-initiated radical polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) at 130 °C in dimethyl carbonate is presented.
