The great success of controlled radical polymerizations has encouraged researchers to
develop more facile and robust approaches for surface‐initiated polymerizations (SIPs) to …

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most often used controlled radical
polymerization techniques. It employs very small amounts (ppm) of Cu complexes in the …

Precise synthesis of the complex polymer structure has been long-sought. In the late
transition-metal catalyzed olefin polymerization, chain walking and chain transfer are two …

Since polar groups can poison the metal centers in catalysts, the incorporation of polar
comonomers usually comes at the expense of catalytic activity and polymer molecular …

As the saturation rate of the bulk polyolefin market accelerates, the development of high
value-added polyolefins becomes increasingly urgent. Particular attention is directed …

Synthesis of olefin–styrene copolymers with defined architecture is challenging due to the
limitations associated with the inherent reactivity ratios for these monomers in radical or …

A dinickel complex, X-Ni 2, was developed and demonstrated to have a high performance in
ethylene/acrylate copolymerization. Further mechanistic studies revealed that X-Ni 2 …

For simultaneously enhancing the stabilization and spinnability of polyacrylonitrile (PAN),
monomethyl itaconate (MI) with ester group and carboxyl was chosen as the bifunctional …

The need for designing a more green approach to reversible-deactivation radical
polymerization (RDRP) results in rapid evolution, enabling its facile scaling up and moving …

Despite their industrial ubiquity, polyolefin‐polyacrylate block copolymers are challenging to
synthesize due to the distinct polymerization pathways necessary for respective blocks. This …
