Polymer chain dynamics and phase transitions remain at the forefront of materials science and soft matter physics, elucidating how individual chain motions translate into macroscopic properties.
A controlled/“living” click polymerization method developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally limited to ...
A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...
