TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the polymerization of methyl methacrylate by SET-LRP in protic solvent mixtures and demonstrate the living polymerization was demonstrated by kinetic evaluation.

TL;DR: The use of active chloride groups from the structural defects of PVC as initiators for the metal-catalyzed living radical graft copolymerization of PVC was reported in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the synthesis and characterization of AB block copolymers based on ω-[(4-cyano-4′-biphenyl)oxy]alkyl vinyl ether (6-n), with alkyl being ethyl, propyl, nonyl, and undecanyl.

TL;DR: An accelerated modular synthesis of six libraries containing 29 amphiphilic Janus dendrimers, employed to discover and predict functions via primary structures, is reported, suggesting the synthesis of Library 6 containing two simpler constitutional isomeric benzyl ester based amphiphiles that self-assemble in water into soft d endrimersomes and multidendrimerome dend rimersomes with predictable dimensions.

TL;DR: In this article, an iterative strategy for the synthesis of dendritic macromolecules from conventional monomers is presented. But the method requires only three steps for its synthesis, diethylthiocarbamic acid S-{3]-1-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-vinyl]-5-diethylcarbamoylsulfanyl-phenyl} ester, and the use of the more reactive Cu2S/2,2′-bipyridine rather than the Cu2O/2
