Journal ArticleDOI
Toward 'smart' nano-objects by self-assembly of block copolymers in solution
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and analysis of novel copolymer-based nanomaterials in solution have been extensively pursued, and the interest in such structures lies in the fact that their dimensions, in the mesoscopic range (
Journal ArticleDOI
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as organocatalysts and structural components in metal-free polymer synthesis
Mareva Fevre,Mareva Fevre,Julien Pinaud,Julien Pinaud,Yves Gnanou,Yves Gnanou,Joan Vignolle,Joan Vignolle,Daniel Taton,Daniel Taton +9 more
TL;DR: This review presents the electronic properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes, their main synthetic methods, their handling, and their reactivity, as well as the use of NHCs as structural components of the polymer chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water‐Soluble Stimuli‐Responsive Vesicles from Peptide‐Based Diblock Copolymers
TL;DR: The hydrodynamic radius of these aggregates (even at high NaCl concentrations) were found to correlate with a transition from a compactly folded α-helical poly(L-glutamic acid) block at low pH to an extended random coil conformation at basic pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics and Mechanism of Controlled Free-Radical Polymerization of Styrene and n-Butyl Acrylate in the Presence of an Acyclic β-Phosphonylated Nitroxide†
TL;DR: In this article, the kinetics of free radical polymerization of styrene and n-butyl acrylate carried out in the presence of N-tertbutyl-N-[1-diethylphosphono-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)] nitroxide (DEPN) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene using a novel octafunctional initiator : Synthesis of well-defined polystyrene stars
TL;DR: A novel octafunctional calixarene derivative, namely, 5,11,17,23,29,35,41,47-octa-tertbutyl-49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56-octakis(2-bromopropionyloxy)calix[8]arene (1) which was readily synthesized in one step, was used to initiate the bulk atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, at 100 °C, in the presence of CuBr/
