Toward alternating copolymerization of maleimide and vinyl acetate driven by hydrogen bonding

Herein, we report the solution copolymerization of N-propylmaleimide (MI) and vinyl acetate (VAc) in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 1,4-dioxane.

RAFT polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone mediated by cyanoprop-2-yl-1-dithionaphthalate in the presence of a fluoroalcohol: the possibility of altering monomer properties by hydrogen bonding?

This work illustrated the possibility of altering the monomer properties by using the hydrogen bonding interaction.

Reversible deactivation radical polymerization in the presence of zero-valent metals: from components to precise polymerization

We highlight recent work from the advent of zero-valent metal-mediated RDRP looking at advances in its components and the synthesis of well-defined polymers.
