Copolymerization of methacrylic acid with methyl methacrylate by SET‐LRP

Sven Fleischmann, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the SET-LRP copolymerization of methacrylic acid with methyl methacrylate was investigated and shown to be feasible and the design of well-defined macromolecules comprising acidic functionality can be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self‐Assembly of Semifluorinated Minidendrons Attached to Electron‐Acceptor Groups into Pyramidal Columns

Virgil Percec, +10 more
- 16 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates the simplicity and the versatility of the concept of assembly of n-type electroactive groups mediated by semifluorinated dendrons and assesses the scope and limitations of this supramolecular strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanochemistry: A reaction to stress

Brad M. Rosen, +1 more
- 22 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: It now seems that stress not only triggers reactions, but can also direct their course.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disproportionating versus nondisproportionating solvent effect in the SET‐LRP of methyl acrylate during catalysis with nonactivated and activated cu(0) wire

Nga H. Nguyen, +1 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the disproportionating solvent effect on the kinetics of single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) during catalysis with nonactivated Cu(0) wire coated with Cu2O and activated Cu( 0) wire free of Cu 2O was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Living polymerization of aryl substituted acetylenes by MoCl5 and WCl6 based initiators: The ortho phenyl substituent effect

Jay F. Kunzler, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1990 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the ratio of cis to trans structural units obtained by isomerization prior to double bond formation dictates the degree of backbiting and intramolecular cyclization reactions.
