Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft
materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a …

Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

This Perspective reviews the design and synthesis of RAFT agents. First, we briefly detail the
basic design features that should be considered when selecting a RAFT agent or macro …

A living radical polymerization (LRP) is a free radical polymerization that aims at displaying
living character,(ie, does not terminate or transfer and is able to continue polymerization …

This review is written to fulfill the need of a comprehensive guide for the manufacture of
porous polymer particles. The synthesis section discusses and for the first time compares …

Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has made a huge
impact in macromolecular design. The first block copolymers were described early on …

This paper provides a second update to the review of reversible deactivation radical
polymerization achieved with thiocarbonylthio compounds (ZC (= S) SR) by a mechanism of …

The capability to graft synthetic polymers onto the surfaces of live cells offers the potential to
manipulate and control their phenotype and underlying cellular processes. Conventional …

Precision synthesis of advanced polymeric materials requires efficient, robust, and facile
chemical reactions. Paradoxically, the synthesis of increasingly intricate macromolecular …

Bioorthogonal chemical reactions have emerged as convenient and rapid methods for
incorporating unnatural functionality into living systems. Different prototype reactions have …
