A process for the preparation of nanostructured materials

TL;DR: In this article, a novel process for the preparation of carbon-based structured materials with controlled topology, morphology and functionality is presented, where the nanostructured materials are prepared by controlled carbonization, or pyrolysis, of precursors comprising phase separated copolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalyst Performance in “Click” Coupling Reactions of Polymers Prepared by ATRP: Ligand and Metal Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of several parameters (ligand, solvent, reducing agent, metal) on click coupling of low-molecular-weight α,ω-diazido-terminated polystyrene prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were studied using step-growth click coupling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamic Components of the Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Equilibrium: Quantifying Solvent Effects

TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic scheme representing the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) equilibrium as the formal sum of equilibria involving carbon−halogen bond homolysis and three additional distinct thermodynamic contributions related to the catalyst is rigorously evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Well-Defined (Co)polymers with 5-Vinyltetrazole Units via Combination of Atom Transfer Radical (Co)polymerization of Acrylonitrile and ``Click Chemistry''-Type Postpolymerization Modification

TL;DR: In this paper, a click chemistry reaction with sodium azide and zinc chloride was used to yield polymeric materials with 5-vinyltetrazole units, which had markedly better solubility or swellability in protic solvents compared to the precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron transfer reactions relevant to atom transfer radical polymerization

TL;DR: In this article, a short review of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is presented, including disproportionation, most pronounced in Cu-mediated ATRP, reduction of radicals to carbanions or oxidation to carbocations, and radical coordination to the metal catalyst.
