TL;DR: Design principles, synthesis and analysis of first and higher generations AB(3) and AB(2) self-assembling dendrons, based on various primary structures, and combinations of (AB)(y)-AB( 3) and (ab)(y-AB(2%) building blocks that produced the largest structural and dimensional diversity of supramolecular dendrimers.
Journal ArticleDOI
New efficient reaction media for SET‐LRP produced from binary mixtures of organic solvents and H2O
TL;DR: In this article, a library of solvents with different equilibrium constants for disproportionation of Cu(I)X such as DMSO, DMF, DMAC, EC, PC, EtOH, MeOH, methoxyethanol, NMP, acetone and in their binary mixtures with H 2 O was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of an unprecedented class of JPs coassembled from amphiphilic Janus dendrimersomes (JDSs) with fluorinated, hydrogenated, and hybrid fluorinated–hydrogenated hydrophobic chains suggests the possibility of fusion and fission processes in biological systems that do not require the assistance of proteins but instead may result from alterations in the ratios of membrane composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
SET‐LRP of N,N‐dimethylacrylamide and of N‐isopropylacrylamide at 25 °C in protic and in dipolar aprotic solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, the singleelectron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of water-soluble monomers, N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA), initiated with 2-methylchloropropionate (MCP) in dipolar aprotic and protie solvents is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorophobic Effect in the Self-Assembly of Polymers and Model Compounds Containing Tapered Groups into Supramolecular Columns
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of the tapered building blocks 3,4,5-tris(1H, 1H,2H, 2H,3H, 3H,4H, 4H,5H, 5H,6H, 6H,7H,8H, 8H-perfluorodododecan-1-yloxy)benzoic acid and methacrylates are described.
