Universal platform for preparation of functional block copolymers

McCarthy P., Tsarevsky N.V., Jakubowski W., Spanwick J., Matyjaszewski K., ATRP Solutions, Inc., US

Block copolymers with hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments can assemble to generate a variety of nano-scale structures. Additionally, block copolymers have tremendous potential to improve the performance of commercial products in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, adhesives and detergents [...]

Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) as a Tool for the Synthesis of Well-Defined Functional Polymeric Materials

Tsarevsky N.V., McCarthy P., Jakubowski W., Spanswick J., Matyjaszewski K., ATRP Solutions, Inc., US

ATRP is one of the most powerful synthetic techniques that allows the synthesis of polymeric materials with predetermined molecular weight, composition, and molecular architecture derived from substituted styrenes, (meth)acrylates, or acrylonitrile. The polymers prepared by [...]
