Macromol Rapid Commun 2023; 44:e2200875.

Abstract
Tailor-made poly(vinyl alcohol)-b-poly(styrene) copolymers (PVA-b-PS) for separation membranes are synthesized by the combination of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization techniques. The special features of these di-block copolymers are the high molecular weight (>70 kDa), the high PVA content (>80 wt%), and the good film-forming property. They are soluble only in hot dimethyl sulfoxide, but by the "solvent-switch" technique, they self-assemble in aqueous media to form micelles. When the self-assembled micelles are cast on a porous substrate, thin-film membranes with higher water permeance than that of PVA homopolymer are obtained. Thus, by using these tailor-made PVA-b-PS copolymers, it is demonstrated that chemical cross-linkers and acid catalysts can no longer be needed to produce PVA membranes, since the PS nanodomains within the PVA matrix act as cross-linking points. Lastly, subsequent thermal annealing of the thin film enhances the membrane selectivity due to the improved microphase separation.

Abstract
The use of vinylboronic acid pinacol ester (VBpin) as a comonomer and post-polymerization oxidation afforded vinyl alcohol (VA)-styrene copolymers, which were difficult to synthesize using a typical VA precursor monomer, vinyl acetate (VAc). The molar mass was controllable by applying RAFT polymerization and the VA composition ratio could be tuned from 11% to 72%. The solubility and glass-transition temperature were also evaluated with the copolymers of different composition ratios.

Abstract
The copper-catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) has emerged as the most useful "click" chemistry. Polymer science has profited enormously from CuAAC by its simplicity, ease, scope, applicability and efficiency. Basic principles of the CuAAC are reviewed with a focus on homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, ligands, anchimeric assistance, and basic chemical principles. Recent developments of ligand design and acceleration are discussed.
