Nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) is a controlled/living radical polymerization
(CLRP) technique that enables the design of well-defined, functional and complex …

The width and shape of molecular weight distributions can significantly affect the properties
of polymeric materials and thus are key parameters to control. This mini-review aims to …

Branched polymers are among the most important polymers, ranging from polyolefins to
polysaccharides. Branching plays a key role in the chain dynamics. It is thus very important …

We report the synthesis by the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer process of
well-defined decablock polymers with a final dispersity as low as 1.15 and a fraction of living …

Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) is a widely used and versatile technique in the
family of field-flow fractionations, indicated by a rapidly increasing number of publications. It …

A series of thermoresponsive diblock copolymers of poly [2-(dimethylamino) ethyl
methacrylate-block-di (ethyleneglycol) methyl ether methacrylate], poly (DMAEMA-b …

This tutorial review presents the theory and application of SEC-MALS with minimal
equations and a focus on synthetic polymer characterization, serving as an entry point for …

The establishment of structure–function relationships requires the accurate characterization
of the materials being studied. For polymer science, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is …

Modern applications of polymers demand further elaboration of molecular-level structures as
well as control of various macro-level features. There have been significant advances …

Propagation rate coefficients, kp, of N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) radical polymerization in
aqueous solution have been measured via the pulsed-laser polymerization-size exclusion …
