Polymer chemistry continues to evolve through the design and synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures that underpin a broad spectrum of advanced materials. Brush polymerization, a specialised ...

Macromolecular engineering, i.e., the preparation of well-defined polymers with controlled architecture, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and end-functionalities by living cationic, ...

One hundred years ago, in 1920, the German chemist Hermann Staudinger published his classic paper entitled "Über Polymerisation" ("On Polymerization"). In that paper, he proposed a chain structure for ...

Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations have emerged as a powerful and cost-effective approach for fabricating ultrathin polymer films with diverse functionalities. During this free ...
