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 ...
Exploring the nano-surface of collagenous and other fibrotic tissues with AFM
(2017)
Atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful and invaluable tool for imaging and probing the mechanical properties of biological samples at the nanometric scale. The importance of nano-scale characterization and nanomechanics ...
Styrene-vinyl pyridine diblock copolymers: Achieving high molecular weights by the combination of anionic and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerizations
(2013)
Anionic and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations were combined for the preparation of high molecular weight (MW) amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on the hydrophobic styrene (Sty) and ...
Stimuli-Responsive amphiphilic polyelectrolyte heptablock copolymer physical hydrogels: An unusual ph-response
(2012)
An amphiphilic cationic polyelectrolyte based on poly[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (polyDMA) and poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (polyBuMA) with a BuMA-DMA-BuMA-DMA-BuMA-DMA-BuMA heptablock copolymer architecture was ...
Double Networks Based on Amphiphilic Cross-Linked Star Block Copolymer First Conetworks and Randomly Cross-Linked Hydrophilic Second Networks
(2016)
This study presents the preparation and characterization of double networks (DN) based on a first amphiphilic polymethacrylate conetwork (APCN) and a second polyacrylamide network. The APCN first network comprised ...
Synthesis and characterization of rigid functional anionic polyelectrolytes: Block copolymers and star homopolymers
(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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers prepared via self-condensing RAFT polymerization
(2015)
Four families of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers of styrene (Sty, less polar monomer) and 2-vinylpyridine (2VPy, one of the two more polar monomers) or 4-vinylpyridine (4VPy, the other polar monomer) were prepared ...
