Synthesis of multiple stimuli-responsive degradable block copolymers via facile carbonyl imidazole-induced postpolymerization modification

A robust approach that centers on carbonyl imidazole chemistry was used to synthesize a triple-stimuli-responsive degradable block copolymer labeled with acetal, disulfide, and o-nitrobenzyl groups exhibiting acid, reduction, and light responses.

Structural design of pyrene-functionalized TEMPO-containing polymers for enhanced electrochemical storage performance

We demonstrate the importance of rational structural design of pyrene-functionalized radical (i.e. 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy, TEMPO) copolymers for enhanced electrochemical performance by providing insightful guidance for designing high-performance polymer-based electrodes for energy storage applications.
