The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-
CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical …

Polymer brushes are thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered
by one chain end to a solid interface. The bulk and solution properties of these highly …

Photomediated controlled radical polymerization is a versatile method to prepare, under
mild conditions, various well-defined polymers with complex architecture, such as block and …

Abstract Luminescent PTh–SnO 2 nanocomposite was synthesized via chemical oxidative
polymerization technique in presence of thiophene monomer with varying concentrations of …

Electronic energy transfer and the migration of electrons generated via photoinduced
