Di(n-butyl) itaconate end-functionalized polymers: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization and solution characterization
Kassi, Eleni; Loizou, Elena; Porcar, L.; Patrickios, Costas S. (2011)In this study we present our efforts to homo- and co-polymerize, using group transfer polymerization (GTP), a dialkyl diester of itaconic acid, a naturally-derived unsaturated dicarboxylic acid. The monomer employed, ...

Group transfer polymerization of biobased monomers
Kassi, Eleni; Constantinou, Michalis S.; Patrickios, Costas S. (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, ...

Synthesis and characterization of rigid functional anionic polyelectrolytes: Block copolymers and star homopolymers
Rikkou-Kalourkoti, Maria D.; Kassi, Eleni; Patrickios, Costas S. (2012)Seven cyclolinear polymers bearing the tertiary-butyl α- (hydroxymethyl)acrylate (TBHMA) ether dimer were prepared using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Of the seven polymers, five ...

Well-defined polymers from biosourced monomers: The case of 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl tiglate
Kassi, Eleni; Patrickios, Costas S. (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 ...
