Journal ArticleDOI
ReviewNitroxide-mediated polymerization
Julien Nicolas,Yohann Guillaneuf,Catherine Lefay,Denis Bertin,Didier Gigmes,Bernadette Charleux +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of NMP is presented, from its discovery to 2012, covering all aspects, features and achievements of the NMP, from synthetic approaches to nitroxides and alkoxyamines, kinetic aspects and polymerization features.
Journal ArticleDOI
First Nitroxide-Mediated Controlled Free-Radical Polymerization of Acrylic Acid
Laurence Couvreur,Catherine Lefay,Joël Belleney,Bernadette Charleux,Olivier Guerret,Stéphanie Magnet +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, controlled poly(acrylic acid) homopolymers were synthesized for the first time by direct nitroxide-mediated polymerization of acrylic acid using an initiator based on the N-tert-butyl-N-(1-diethyl phosphono-2,2-dimethyl propyl) nitroxides, SG1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization: Scope, Limitations, and Application to (Bio)Degradable Materials
TL;DR: This current review presents a comprehensive description of rROP, which combines the advantages of both ring-opening polymerization and radical polymerization, that is the preparation of polymers bearing heteroatoms in the backbone but with the ease and robustness of a radical process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surfactant-free synthesis of amphiphilic diblock copolymer nanoparticles via nitroxide-mediated emulsion polymerization
TL;DR: Amphiphilic hairy nanoparticles are prepared in a one step, batch, heterogeneous polymerization of styrene or n-butyl acrylate, using a water-soluble poly(sodiumAcrylate) alkoxyamine macroinitiator based on the SG1 nitroxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphiphilic gradient poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) copolymer prepared via nitroxide-mediated solution polymerization. Synthesis, characterization in aqueous solution and evaluation as emulsion polymerization stabilizer
Catherine Lefay,Bernadette Charleux,Maud Save,Christophe Chassenieux,Olivier Guerret,Stéphanie Magnet +5 more
TL;DR: A well-defined, amphiphilic poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) copolymer was synthesized in a single step by nitroxide-mediated controlled free-radical copolymization of styrene and acrylic acid without protection of the acid groups.
