Group transfer polymerization of biobased monomers
(2013)This article overviews the work by our Group at the University of Cyprus on the attempted controlled polymerization of several biobased unsaturated esters. These were esters of tiglic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, ...

Polymers prepared using cleavable initiators: Synthesis, characterization and degradation
(2011)Following the great interest in polymers based on degradable monomers and degradable cross-linkers, there is now an increasing activity in the controlled synthesis of polymers using degradable initiators. The degradation ...

Synthesis and characterization of end-linked amphiphilic copolymer conetworks based on a novel bifunctional cleavable chain transfer agent
(2012)A novel bifunctional bis(hemiacetal ester) chain transfer agent (CTA), 1,2-bis[1-(4-cyano-4-methyl-1-oxo-4-(phenylcarbonothioylthio)butanoxy)ethoxy] ethane (CMPTBEE), appropriate for the reversible addition-fragmentation ...

Synthesis and characterization of near-monodisperse electron acceptor homopolymers of 2-[(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)oxy]ethyl methacrylate
(2000)Homopolymers of 2-(trimethylsiloxy)ethyl methacrylate of degrees of polymerization from 5 to 50 were synthesized by group transfer polymerization in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using 1-methoxy-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-methyl propene ...

Well-defined polymers from biosourced monomers: The case of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl tiglate
(2010)Tiglic acid esters are naturally derived olefins of pleasant odor but incapable of undergoing free-radical polymerization due to the steric hindrances conferred by the β-methyl group. In an effort to incorporate these green ...
