ABC or ACB triblock copolymers? Changing the RAFT group position in diblock copolymer macro-RAFT agents leads to different PISA behaviors in RAFT dispersion polymerization Polym. Chem. (IF 4.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-05 Zongchuan Li, Ruiming Wang, Xinyi Luo, Li Zhang, Jianbo Tan
Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization has been established as an efficient method for the synthesis of well-defined block copolymer nanoparticles. However, RAFT groups are always buried inside nanoparticles that limits the applications and further structural control over block copolymer nanoparticles. In this

The structure–property relationship of synthetic polymers is crucial for the design of their synthesis. Synthesis design determines the final behavior and thus potential applications of the material. However, structurally assessing a synthetic polymer at the level of monomeric sequences remains challenging. Here, we report the kinetic investigation of the reactivity between 3- and 7-(prop-2-ynyl)oxepan-2-one

Lignin is a renewable feedstock that is abundant and inexpensive but still presents challenges for its valorization. In this work, we converted functionalized lignin into broad-spectrum adhesives using thiol–silyl ether crosslinkers. The curing behavior of adhesives was investigated via rheology of their resin forms. These materials exhibit good adhesion on diverse substrates, including wood, glass

Exploiting controlled transesterification as a “top down” approach to tailor poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(lactic acid) copolymer structures with bis-Zn catalysts Polym. Chem. (IF 4.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Thomas J. Neal, Edward D. Neal, James Cumby, Jennifer A. Garden
Poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(lactic acid) (PCL-PLA) copolymers have wide-ranging applications, where the polymer properties are controlled by the chain structure (i.e. block or random). Yet the synthesis of well-defined higher order multiblock PCL-PLA copolymers remains challenging, as competitive transesterification processes can occur that disrupt the polymer structure. Herein, we demonstrate that controlled
