Lewis pair polymerization is a powerful method for preparing soluble polymers bearing pendant active vinyl groups by directly polymerizing dissymmetric divinyl polar monomers. Herein, we present a strategy for synthesizing block and brush copolymers via tandem Lewis pair polymerization of methacrylates, "thiol-ene" click reaction and organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization of lactide.

The monodisperse and controlled polymer nanoparticles have attracted much attention in academic and industrial fields. Due to small size and extremely large specific surface area, nanoparticles could be used to the fields of drug delivery system, microencapsulation, chromate graphy, catalyst, organic/inorganic hybrid materials, and templates for porous inorganic materials. The dispersion polyme...

OBJECTIVE To ascertain the efficacy of polymerization of self-etching dental adhesives in different solvent evaporation conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four self-etching adhesive systems were studied. Two of them are classified as mild two-step self-etching adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, Protect Bond) and the other two are strong one-step systems (Xeno III, ADP-Prompt-L-Pop). The influence of ...

a new method for the synthesis of water soluble polyaniline (pani) using hemin chloride (h.c) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (h.p) is presented. hemin chloride is an effective catalyst for the oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. the uv- vis absorption spectra of the product show a distinct absorption peak at 430 nm in ph 4.0 b...

in the present investigation efforts have been made to synthesis polyvinyl pyridine (pvpy) /c60 conjugatesthrough 2, 2-azobisisobutyronitrile (aibn) initiated insitu polymerization of pvpy in scco2.the processof synthesis was monitored under different reaction conditions ranging 1200-1800psi, 60-90 oc over 6hours. the progress of polymerization was monitored rheoviscometrically. the concentrati...

despite the great potential of graphene as a nanofiller, achieving homogeneous dispersion remains the key challenge for effectively reinforcing polyolefin (such as polyethylene (pe) and polypropylene (pp)) nanocomposites. therefore, in this research, we report a facile combined in situ polymerization and masterbatch method for fabricating pp/reduced graphene oxide (rgo) nanocomposites. in the p...

The DNA-templated polymerization of synthetic building blocks provides a potential route to the laboratory evolution of sequence-defined polymers with structures and properties not necessarily limited to those of natural biopolymers. We previously reported the efficient and sequence-specific DNA-templated polymerization of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) aldehydes. Here, we report the enzyme-free, D...
