Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Surface Properties of Amphiphilic Star-Shaped and Dendrimer-like Copolymers Based on Polystyrene Core and Poly(ethylene oxide) Corona
TL;DR: In this paper, a core-first method was used to obtain polystyrene (PS)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) amphiphilic star-block copolymers and dendrimer-like architectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward an easy access to asymmetric stars and miktoarm stars by atom transfer radical polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and chemical modification of the termini of ATRP-derived polymers was used to synthesize AA 2-type asymmetric stars and AB2-type miktoarm star polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Dendrimer-Like Polystyrene by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization and Investigation of Their Viscosity Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of dendrimer-like polystyrene (PS) of second and third generations by combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and chain end modifications is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer Grafted Inorganic Nanoparticles, Preparation, Properties, and Applications: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, the functionalization of nanoparticles, grafting of polymers on nanoparticles and properties of a number of nanoparticle-polymer composites are discussed, and it can be seen that attempts have been made to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in polymer matrix for the purpose of gaining stability and processability.
