A hydrolyzable model network comprising interconnected star polymers was prepared by the sequential group transfer polymerization of methyl methacrylate and the acid-labile diacetalbased dimethacrylate crosslinker ...

Magnetoresponsive polymer-based fibrous nanocomposites belonging to the broad category of stimuli-responsive materials, is a relatively new class of soft composite materials, consisting of magnetic nanoparticles embedded ...

Three series of conetworks based on cross-linked star polymers of different architectures were prepared using group transfer polymerization. The first series of conetworks were amphiphilic, based on the hydrophobic monomer ...

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 ...

A novel approach for the fabrication of magneto-active carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stabilized in aqueous media, involving the combination of carboxylated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a new class of methacrylate-based ...
