Polymers have many advantages such as low weight, low cost, and, importantly, stability
under thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. This stability, on the other hand, leads to …

Cyclic monomers bearing either vinyl or exomethylene groups have the ability to be
polymerized through a radical pathway via a ring-opening mechanism (addition …

This short, introductory review covers the still rapidly growing and industrially important field
of ring opening polymerization (ROP). The review is organized according to mechanism …

Radical Ring‐opening polymerization (RROP) of cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) emerges to
be a valuable polymerization technique. In attracting more attention, RROP has seen a new …

The synthesis of readily biodegradable amphiphilic polyvinyl alcohol diblock copolymers
(poly (VA-b-MDO)) was achieved through the combination of radical ring-opening …

While synthetic polymers have found widespread application in personal and consumer
care, and agrochemical and biomedical applications, there remains a constant drive to …

Vinyl polymers are the focus of intensive research due to their ease of synthesis and the
possibility of making well-defined, functional materials. However, their non-degradability …

The development of cleavable comonomers (CCs) with suitable copolymerization reactivity
paves the way for the introduction of backbone deconstructability into polymers. Recent …

Life and biological units are the result of the supramolecular arrangement of many different
types of molecules, all of them combined with exquisite precision to achieve specific …

The stability of a drug payload inside a nanocarrier at physiological environment and the
release of the said drug at specific tumor cells in a sustainable manner are the two most …
