This review summarizes recent advances in the controlled radical polymerization of N-vinyl
monomers, such as N-vinylcarbazole, N-vinylindole derivatives, N-vinylpyrrolidone, N …

This article is the first comprehensive review on the study and use of vinyl ester monomers in
reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. It covers all the …

Poly ((N-vinylpyrrolidone)-block-poly (vinyl acetate))(PVP-b-PVAc) block copolymers of
varying molecular weight and hydrophobic block lengths were synthesized via controlled …

Polymers derived from vinyl acetate, N-vinyl carbazole, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, and N-vinyl
imidazole possess very interesting properties hence finding applications in pharmaceutical …

Epoxy-based adhesives have gotten significant attention in the conservation of antiquities
and repair or reconstruction of artifacts due to their excellent adhesion strength. However, it …

Vinyl acetate and methyl acrylate living radical polymerization were successfully mediated
by cobalt (II) Salen* complexes. Living characters of the polymerization are demonstrated by …

The choice of stabilizers to prevent particle agglomeration during nanomilling is an
elaborate process which is often based on empirical rules and experience. Usually …

The ability of a RAFT agent to control the polymerization of a monomer is dictated by the
structures of both the monomer and the RAFT agent. In this paper, the polymerization of N …

Antifreeze (glyco) proteins are produced by many cold-acclimatized species to enable them
to survive subzero temperatures. These proteins have multiple macroscopic effects on ice …
