Synthesis of novel glycopolymer brushes via a combination of RAFT-mediated polymerisation and ATRP
Glycopolymers (synthetic sugar-containing polymers) have become increasingly attractive to polymer chemists because of their role as biomimetic analogues and their potential for commercial applications.

Block copolymer synthesis by controlled/living radical polymerisation in heterogeneous systems [PDF]
Nanostructured soft materials open up new opportunities in material design and application, and block copolymer self-assembly is one particularly powerful phenomenon that can be exploited for their synthesis.

Reversible Nanocomposites With Carbon Nanotubes as the Diene in the Diels–Alder Reaction
Scheme of the reversible nanocomposites through DA and rDA reactions with participation of carbon nanotubes. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often require surface functionalization to facilitate uniform distribution and address issues related to aggregation. Due to the sp2 hybridized carbon atoms on their surface, CNTs readily participate in the Diels–

Simple, Direct Routes to Polymer Brush Traps and Nanostructures for Studies of Diffusional Transport in Supported Lipid Bilayers [PDF]
Patterned poly(oligo ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (POEGMEMA) brush structures may be formed by using a combination of atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and UV photopatterning.

This study demonstrates how pore architecture, shape, and sulfonate group density influence the adsorption of Zn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ by PAMPS polyHIPEs. Beads and monoliths exhibit distinct transport behavior compared to commercial 77H resin. The results offer design guidelines for optimizing ion‐exchange polymers to improve performance in water ...

Copper(0)-mediated radical polymerisation in a self-generating biphasic system [PDF]
Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of well-defined poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s via copper(0)-mediated radical polymerisation in a self-generating biphasic system. During the polymerisation of n-butyl acrylate in DMSO, the polymer phase separates to yield a

Mesoporous Carbon Thin Films with Large Mesopores as Model Material for Electrochemical Applications
Mesoporous carbon thin films possessing 70 nm mesopores are prepared on titanium substrates by soft templating of resol resins with a self‐synthesized poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(hexyl acrylate) block copolymer. A strategy to avoid corrosion of the metal substrate is presented, and the films are extensively characterized in terms of morphology ...

The impact of polymer grafting from a graphene oxide surface on its compatibility with a PDMS matrix and the light-induced actuation of the composites [PDF]
Poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS)-based materials with improved photoactuation properties were prepared by the incorporation of polymer-grafted graphene oxide particles.

Polyferrocene block copolymers are synthesized and assembled into micron‐sized polymer cubosomes with double diamond lattice and pore diameter of ≈30 nm. The ferrocene functionality is retained within the polymer cubosome wall as demonstrated on supramolecular modification, and oxidative disassembly.

Micrometre and nanometre scale patterning of binary polymer brushes, supported lipid bilayers and proteins [PDF]
Binary polymer brush patterns were fabricated via photodeprotection of an aminosilane with a photo-cleavable nitrophenyl protecting group. UV exposure of the silane film through a mask yields micrometre-scale amine-terminated regions that can be ...
