Radical polymerization in aqueous solutions represents a highly versatile and environmentally appealing method for synthesising polymers. This process employs free radicals generated in water to ...

All reagents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical (St Louis, MO, USA) and used without further purification unless otherwise noted. MMA was distilled at reduced pressure and azobisisobutyronitrile was ...

Synthetic polymers play a crucial role in cell biology, serving as delivery vehicles for DNA and drugs, acting as fluorescent probes for cellular sensing, functioning as bioinks for tissue engineering ...

Termination steps involve the combination of two radicals, effectively removing radicals from the system and halting the ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

As widespread as 3D printing with stereolithography (SLA) is in the consumer market, these additive manufacturing (AM) machines are limited to a single UV light source and the polymerization of ...

A team of researchers has demonstrated a way to use low-energy, visible light to produce polymer gel objects from pure monomer solutions. The work not only poses a potential solution to current ...
