Living Radical Polymerization by the RAFT Process - A Second Update
TL;DR: The authors provides a third update to the review of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC(S)SR) by a mechanism of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) that was published in June 2005.

Bejoy Thomas,Midhun C. Raj,Athira K. B,Rubiyah M. H,Jithin Joy,Jithin Joy,Audrey Moores,Glenna L. Drisko,Clément Sanchez +8 more
TL;DR: Nanocellulose has excellent strength, high Young's modulus, biocompatibility, and tunable self-assembly, thixotropic, and photonic properties, which are essential for the applications of this material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioapplications of RAFT polymerization.
TL;DR: The control of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution has enabled access to complex architectures and site specific functionality that were previously impossible to achieve via traditional free radical polymerizations.

Designing surfaces that kill bacteria on contact
TL;DR: On surfaces modified with N-hexylated poly(4-vinylpyridine), the numbers of viable cells of another Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, as well as of the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, dropped more than 100-fold compared with the original amino glass.

Polymyxin and related peptide antibiotics.
TL;DR: The ultimate goal is to correlate the biological properties of these peptides with their effects on the physical properties of membranes and to rationalize these events in terms of lipid-peptide interactions.
