Block copolymers form the basis of the most ubiquitous materials such as thermoplastic
elastomers, bridge interphases in polymer blends, and are fundamental for the development …

Major trends in controlled radical polymerization (CRP) or reversible-deactivation radical
polymerization (RDRP), the most efficient method of synthesis of well-defined homo-and …

The most straightforward and potentially ideal route to produce polar-functionalized
polyethylene is direct copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers. However, access …

While controlled free-radical polymerizations are established for a vast range of vinyl
monomers, they have not been reported for carbon monoxide, although it is a unique …

Introducing polar groups into non‐polar polyolefins can significantly enhance the important
properties of materials. However, producing polyolefin backbones consisting of polar blocks …

Anionic polymerization of butadiene or/and styrene is performed with lithium initiators,
functional or not. The polymer chains are subsequently transferred to magnesium. The …

Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely used materials in the world, but it is virtually
undegradable and quickly accumulates in nature, which may contaminate the environment …

Herein, the synthesis of polyethylene via an innovative post-polymerization modification
(PPM) approach is reported. For this, a block copolymer of poly [N-(acryloyloxy) …

Herein, we report on a new and innovative post-polymerization modification procedure for
the ethylene-free synthesis of polyethylene copolymers and block copolymers. Poly [N …

The present paper reviews advancements in reversible-deactivation radical polymerization
(RDRP) of ethylene. Polyethylene, one of the most produced polymers, is traditionally made …
