Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) provides unprecedented control over
polymer composition, size, functionality, and topology. Various materials, such as linear …

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 …

We report a novel method to synthesize degradable poly (vinyl ether) s with cleavable
thioacetal bonds periodically arranged in the main chains using controlled cationic …

We used the carbon–boron (C–B) bond of a vinyl boronate unit as a trigger site to achieve
the main-chain degradation of the copolymer through radical generation from the C–B …

Alkenylboronate units were incorporated into poly (methyl methacrylate) as trigger sites for
backbone degradation. The complexation of a fluoride anion to the boron pendant and …

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

This study revealed that benzyl vinyl ether (BnVE) shows a peculiar isomerization
propagation in its radical copolymerization with an electron‐deficient acrylate carrying a …

When develo** functional adhesives, material design is generally based on incorporating
additional function without sacrificing the original adhesive performance. In contrast, the …

The present work systematically investigates the hydrolysis mechanism of cyclic ketene
acetal (CKA) monomers in detail and explores polymerization in water under organic solvent …

Synthetic polymers sustain a wide range of applications but the quest for further
sophistication and functionalization of polymers remains topical to improve their scope and …
