Journal ArticleDOI
o-Nitrobenzyl Alcohol Derivatives: Opportunities in Polymer and Materials Science
TL;DR: The use of o-nitrobenzyl group (o-NB) in polymer chemistry has been extensively studied in this article, including the use of O-NB-based cross-linkers for photodegradable hydrogels, o-NB side chain functionalization in (block) copolymers, and oNB functionalization for thin film patterning for self-assembled monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Ordered Nanoporous Thin Films from Photocleavable Block Copolymers
Hui Zhao,Weiyin Gu,Elizabeth S. Sterner,Thomas P. Russell,E. Bryan Coughlin,Patrick Theato,Patrick Theato,Patrick Theato +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a photocleavable block copolymer was synthesized by a combined RAFT polymerization and click chemistry approach and represents the first report utilizing this method for the synthesis of photocleavaable block Copolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
