TL;DR: The near-quantitative monomer conversion and high bromine chain-end functionality, demonstrated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight analysis, further allowed the preparation of innovative biobased block copolymers containing rubbery poly(ethyl lactate acrylate) poly(ELA) sequences.

TL;DR: The results presented here demonstrate that Cu(0) wire-catalyzed SET-LRP can be used to target polyMnA with different block lengths and narrow molecular weight distribution at room temperature, and expand the possibilities of SET- LRP into the area of renewable resources where hydrophobic compounds are widespread.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of green solvents as biobased platform chemicals to generate well-defined and nanostructure-forming materials was reported, and the resulting amphiphilic copolymers could self-assemble in aqueous solution to form nanoparticles with different morphologies.

TL;DR: A new single dynamic ligand generated by hydrogen-bonding may be responsible for the mixed-ligand effect observed, which enhanced the apparent rate constant of propagation, monomer conversion and molecular weight control.

TL;DR: Efforts to expand the monomer scope for SET-LRP in "programmed" aqueous organic biphasic systems by targeting methacrylic monomers and polymers by synthesizing polymers of different targeted molar mass as well as quasi-block AB copolymers by "in situ" chain extension at high conversion are reported.
