Living Radical Polymerization 4. Stereospecific Living Radical Polymerization
Living radical polymerization (LRP) enables the control of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of polymers synthesized, but it is no effect on stereoregulation (tacticity) of the polymer. With the progress of stereospecific radical polymerizations, several attempts have been made to combine it with LRP to achieve simultaneous control of ...

A User-friendly Living Cationic Polymerization: Degenerative Chain-transfer Polymerization of Vinyl Ethers by Simply Using Mixtures of Weak and Superstrong Protonic Acids [PDF]
Mixtures of a weak protonic acid and a trace amount of superstrong protonic acid were used for the simple control of the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers via a degenerative chain-transfer mechanism, in which the former acid works as a precursor of

Living Supramolecular Polymerization of DNA
AbstractRecently there have been notable synthetic successes in supramolecular polymerization. By contrast, it has long been known that DNA can undergo supramolecular polymerization (concatemerization). Concatemerization is a step‐like polymerization and consequently suffers from broad molecular weight distributions and generally undesirable ...
