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 …

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 …

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 …

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

The remarkable diversity of the self-assembly behavior of PEG–peptides is reviewed,
including self-assemblies formed by PEG–peptides with β-sheet and α-helical (coiled-coil) …

Telechelic polymers, defined as macromolecules that contain two reactive end groups, are
used as cross-linkers, chain extenders, and important building blocks for various …

Herein, we report the synthesis of trehalose side chain polymers for stabilization of protein
conjugates to environmental stressors. The glycomonomer 4, 6-O-(4-vinylbenzylidene)-α, α …

Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is one of the most
extensively studied controlled/living radical polymerization methods that has been used to …

We report a photoinduced living polymerization technique able to polymerize a large range
of monomers, including methacrylates, acrylates and acrylamides, in water and biological …

Reactive polymers are increasingly becoming materials of wide interest because they offer
solutions to challenges in biomolecular immobilization, drug‐delivery and enzyme …
