Melt block copolymerization of ε-caprolactone and L-lactide [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
AB block copolymers of ε-caprolactone and (L)-lactide could be prepared by ring-opening polymerization in the melt at 110°C using stannous octoate as a catalyst and ethanol as an initiator provided ε-caprolactone was polymerized first.

Kinetic vs. energetic discrimination in biological copying

open access: yes, 2013
We study stochastic copying schemes in which discrimination between a right and a wrong match is achieved via different kinetic barriers or different binding energies of the two matches.

Bayesian Optimization Guiding the Experimental Mapping of the Pareto Front of Mechanical and Flame‐Retardant Properties in Polyamide Nanocomposites

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Bayesian optimization enabled the design of PA56 system with just 8 wt% additives, achieving limiting oxygen index 30.5%, tensile strength 80.9 MPa, and UL‐94 V‐0 rating. Without prior knowledge, the algorithm uncovered synergistic effects between aluminum diethyl‐phosphinate and nanoclay.

Photolyzable Polymer Brushes: Subtractive 3D Structuring of Surfaces Using Water and Light

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Facile structuring of polymer brushes is achieved by flipping the process from controlled growth to controlled brush photolysis. Using surface‐initiated radical ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic monomers with photocleavable cyclobutane rings, photodegradable targets are embedded into the polymer chains. The enabled continuous subtractive patterning

Multi‐Property Machine Learning Models to Accelerate the Transition Toward Bio‐Based Emulsion Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework simultaneously predicts four critical properties of monomers for emulsion polymerization: propagation rate constant, reactivity ratios, glass transition temperature, and water solubility. These tools can be used to systematically identify viable bio‐based monomer pairs as replacements for conventional formulations, with ...

Synthesis of Early Transition Metal Bisphenolate Complexes and Their Use as Olefin Polymerization Catalysts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Bisphenolate ligands with pyridine- and benzene-diyl linkers have been synthesized and metalated with group 4 and 5 transition metals. The solid-state structures of some of the group 4 complexes have been solved.

Copolymerization parameters [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, 1961
AbstractCopolymerization parameters, Q and e, have been calculated for several monomers whose relative reactivity ratios, r1 and r2, are available. The ratios and parameters are tabulated in an effort to bring the various data in the literature to a single source of reference.
