A controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally ...

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate ...

Polymerization of vinyl compound and C1 polymerization of diazoacetate. Credit: Ehime University Vinyl polymerization (polymerization of vinyl compounds) is a useful method for preparing sp ...

Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...

Researchers at Cornell University have devised a new single-molecule microscopy method for studying polymers as they grow (Nat Chem. 2023 DOI: 10.1038/s41557-023-01363-2). “We see every monomer,” says ...

Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
