Journal ArticleDOI
Design of new macromolecular architectures by using quasi-equivalent monodendrons as building blocks
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that monodendrons can act as synthetic quasi-equivalent building blocks, which can be used in the construction of three dimensional supramolecular and macromolecular rod-like and spherical systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interrelationships of Nanometer and Subnanometer Structures in a Polynorbornene Containing Second Generation Liquid-Crystalline Monodendrons as Side Groups
TL;DR: A series of polynorbornenes containing monodendrons as side groups [DPNB(n)] with different degrees of polymerization (n) were synthesized in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional polymers and sequential copolymers by phase transfer catalysis, 20. Synthesis of copolymers and alternating block copolymers containing thermotropic liquid crystalline polyethers and aromatic poly(ether sulfone) segments†

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transfer catalyzed (PTC) polyetherification of mesogenic α,ω-bis(5-bromopentoxy)polyether (5) with α, φ-bis (hydroxyphenyl)-PSU was used as another diphenol in the PTC polyhetification of 5 with 2 and 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
SET-LRP in Biphasic Mixtures of the Nondisproportionating Solvent Hexafluoroisopropanol with Water.
TL;DR: The results reported here support the potential of HFIP/water mixtures in the preparation of more complex architectures including polymers with dual control over molecular weight and tacticity and find applications in the grafting of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembly of Viruses as Models for the Design of new Macromolecular and supramolecular architectures
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the principles of self-assembly of rod-like viruses, such as tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and discussed with selected examples the strategy used in their laboratory to produce synthetic systems which self-assemble via related principles.
