The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

In recent years, tremendous efforts have been dedicated to developing wood‐derived
functional polymeric materials due to their distinctive properties, including environmental …

In this feature article, the recent progresses in the synthesis of cellulose graft copolymers
with well-defined architecture were reviewed. The graft modification of cellulose using …

In this review, homogeneous and heterogeneous grafting from cellulose and cellulose
derivatives by ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) are reported. Cellulose is biorenewable …

Micelles are nanostructures developed via the spontaneous assembly of amphiphilic
polymers in aqueous systems, which possess the advantages of high drug stability or active …

Asymmetric molecular brushes emerge as a unique class of nanostructured polymers, while
their versatile synthesis keeps a challenge for chemists. Here we show the synthesis of well …

A major challenge in tissue engineering is to generate a functional microvasculature that
ensures proper blood perfusion and connection with surrounding tissues. Strategies such as …

Cellulose-based materials have reached a growing interest for the improvement of
biomedicine, due to their good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Self …

This review covers the literature concerning the modification of polysaccharides through
controlled radical polymerizations (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to well …

In tissue engineering, it is imperative to control the behaviour of cells/stem cells, such as
adhesion, proliferation, propagation, motility, and differentiation for tissue regeneration …
