Rapid flow-based synthesis of poly(3-hexylthiophene) using 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a bio-derived reaction solvent

Synthesis of an amphiphilic copolymer using biopolymer-dextran via combination of ROP and RAFT techniques

The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT) are efficient synthetic approaches to develop self-assembled copolymers with narrow dispersity (Ɖ). The aim of this work is to develop...

Continuous flow chemistry: where are we now? Recent applications, challenges and limitations

A general outlook of the changing face of chemical synthesis is provided in this article through recent applications of continuous flow processing in both industry and academia. The benefits, major challenges and limitations associated with the use of this mode of processing are also given due attention as an attempt to put into perspective the current position of continuous flow processing, either as an alternative or potential combinatory technology for batch processing.
