Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer synthesis of amidine-based, CO2-responsive homo and AB diblock (Co)polymers comprised of histamine and their gas-triggered self-assembly in water

Multi-stimuli responsive polymers – the all-in-one talents

The integration of several responsive moieties within one polymer yields smart polymers exhibiting a multifaceted responsive behaviour.

Mechano-responsive polymer solutions based on CO2 supersaturation: shaking-induced phase transitions and self-assembly or dissociation of polymeric nanoparticles

Shaking solutions of tailored (co)polymers in soda water is shown to induce precipitation, nanoparticle formation, or polymer or nanoparticle dissolution.

Block copolymer self-assembly controlled by the “green” gas stimulus of carbon dioxide

CO₂ can act as a “green” stimulus to precisely tune the self-assembly of block copolymers.

Functional α,ω-dienes via thiol-Michael chemistry: synthesis, oxidative protection, acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization and radical thiol–ene modification

The synthesis of the novel α,ω-diene 2-(undec-10-en-1-yl)tridec-12-en-1-yl acrylate is described.
