Synthesis of homo- and copolymer containing sulfonic acid via atom transfer radical polymerization
Well-defined functional poly(p-phenyl styrenesulfonate) and poly(p-phenyl styrene-sulfonate-co-styrene) were successfully synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using CuBr/bpy(PMDETA) catalyst and 1-phenylethyl bromide (1-PEBr) as

“One-pot” dispersion ATRP and alkyne-azide Huisgen’s 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in supercritical carbon dioxide: towards the formation of functional microspheres [PDF]
Functional polymers were successfully prepared in scCO2 by combining alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar Huisgen’s cycloaddition and dispersion ATRP in a “one pot” process using new perfluorinated polymeric amino-based ligands that had a dual role, i.e.

Abstracting Asynchronous Multi-Valued Networks: An Initial Investigation [PDF]
Multi-valued networks provide a simple yet expressive qualitative state based modelling approach for biological systems. In this paper we develop an abstraction theory for asynchronous multi-valued network models that allows the state space of a model to

Robust Artificial Polyenzyme for Recyclable Pickering Emulsion and Cascade Synthesis
Artificial polyenzyme (ArPoly) forms amphiphilic proteinpolymer conjugates that stabilize Pickering emulsions with tunable interfacial properties for biocatalysis. These emulsions enable efficient and robust single‐step reactions, multi‐step biocatalytic cascades, and whole‐cell catalysis.
