Living free-radical polymerization by reversible addition - Fragmentation chain transfer: The RAFT process
John Chiefari,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a reversible additive-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) method for living free-radical polymerization, which can be used with a wide range of monomers and reaction conditions and in each case it provides controlled molecular weight polymers with very narrow polydispersities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailored Polymers by Free Radical Processes
Ezio Rizzardo,John Chiefari,Bill Chong,Frances Ercole,Julia Krstina,Justine Leigh Jeffery,Tam P. T. Le,Roshan T. A. Mayadunne,Gordon Francis Meijs,Catherine Louise Moad,Graeme Moad,San H. Thang +11 more
TL;DR: The RAFT polymerization as mentioned in this paper is a method for the control of free radical polymerization and its use in the preparation of narrow polydispersity polymers of various architectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imidazolidinone Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization
Y. K. Chong,Y. K. Chong,Frances Ercole,Graeme Moad,Ezio Rizzardo,San H. Thang,Albert Gordon Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of substituents α to the nitroxide nitrogen and at the transannular nitrogen on the outcome of polymerization is explored, and appropriate selection of these substituent provides polymers of lower polydispersities than, for example, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-2-oxyl and derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering Programmable DNA Particles and Capsules Using Catechol-Functionalized DNA Block Copolymers
Chan Jin Kim,Frances Ercole,Eirini Goudeli,Sukhvir Kaur Bhangu,Jingqu Chen,Matthew Faria,John F. Quinn,Frank Caruso +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the assembly of catechol-functionalized DNA block copolymer (DBC) with metal ions (e.g., FeIII) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Thermoresponsive, Catechol-Rich Poly(ethylene glycol) Brush Polymers for Attenuating Cellular Oxidative Stress.
Frances Ercole,Chan Jin Kim,Nam V. Dao,Warren K L Tse,Michael R. Whittaker,Frank Caruso,John F. Quinn +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a platform to integrate customizable quantities of catechol units into polymers by reacting caffeic acid carbonic anhydride with polymers having pendant amine groups was reported.
