Protein nanoreactors and native enzymes for controlled/living radical polymerization [PDF]
The present PhD thesis entitled ‚Protein Nanoreactors and Native Enzymes for Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization‘ began with the hypothesis that protein-catalyst conjugates are able to beneficially influence controlled/living radical polymerization,

Study of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Styrene and Its Gel Effect by Monte Carlo Simulation Method [PDF]
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene was carried out at 105°C and a Monte Carlo simulation was employed to model the system. The variations of monomer conversion, the initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and molecular ...

Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly for Efficient Fabrication of Biomedical Nanoplatforms
Amphiphilic copolymers can self-assemble into nano-objects in aqueous solution. However, the self-assembly process is usually performed in a diluted solution (

Mechanism of prion propagation: amyloid growth occurs by monomer addition. [PDF]
Abundant nonfibrillar oligomeric intermediates are a common feature of amyloid formation, and these oligomers, rather than the final fibers, have been suggested to be the toxic species in some amyloid diseases.
