TL;DR: In this article, the development in living anionic polymerization since 1990 has been discussed, including functional styrene derivatives, new monomers and promising additives, the regio-and stereoselective polymerization, special polymers having rigid-rod-like or helical conformations, the synthesis of complex branched polymers composed of comb-like segments via live anionic poly(macromonomer)s, and the precise synthesis of macromolecular architectures including multiblock polymers, exact graft polymers and multicomponent μ-star poly

TL;DR: In this article, two kinds of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-containing block copolymers (BCPs) were synthesized by living anionic polymerization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the efficient degradation of epoxy resins with disulfide linkages synthesized from bis(4-glycidyloxyphenyl)disulfide and several diamines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed linear and star polymers with a mechanophore at the center of each architecture, and investigated the effect of molecular weight and branched structures on mechanoresponsiveness in the solid state.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rational macromolecular design to suppress the deactivation of activated dynamic mechanophores and improve sensitivity by limiting their molecular motion is proposed, which can be quantitatively evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
