Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrophobically Modified Sulfobetaine Copolymers with Tunable Aqueous UCST through Postpolymerization Modification of Poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate)
TL;DR: In this article, a postpolymerization modification of an activated ester precursor, poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate), employing a zwitterionic amine, 3-((3-aminopropyl)dimethylammonio)propane-1-sulfonate, ADPS, is presented as a novel, one-step synthetic concept toward sulfobetaine (co)polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
RAFT Dispersion Polymerization in Nonpolar Media: Polymerization of 3-Phenylpropyl Methacrylate in n-Tetradecane with Poly(stearyl methacrylate) Homopolymers as Macro Chain Transfer Agents
TL;DR: In this article, a worm-to-sphere morphology transition was facilitated by the RAFT dispersion polymerization of 3-phenylpropyl methacrylate (PPMA) in n-tetradecane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerization-induced self-assembly: ethanolic RAFT dispersion polymerization of 2-phenylethyl methacrylate
Yiwen Pei,Andrew B. Lowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical dispersion polymerization (RAFTDP) has been employed to polymerize 2-phenylethyl methacrylate (PEMA) using macro-CTAs of varying average degree of polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiviral surfaces and coatings and their mechanisms of action
Paulina D. Rakowska,Paulina D. Rakowska,Mariavitalia Tiddia,Nilofar Faruqui,Claire Bankier,Yiwen Pei,Andrew J. Pollard,Junting Zhang,Ian S. Gilmore +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review is performed for natural and synthetic antiviral and virucidal materials, including a discussion of their underpinning mechanisms, and an overview of the current practices and applications of antiviral materials and coatings in consumer products, personal protective equipment, healthcare and public settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulus‐Responsive Nanoparticles and Associated (Reversible) Polymorphism via Polymerization Induced Self‐assembly (PISA)
TL;DR: This review summarises the literature to date and describes molecular requirements for the design of stimulus-responsive nano-objects and emerging applications and future research directions of this "smart" nanoparticle behavior are reviewed.
