IN recent months the importance of the reactivity of the free radicals in polymerization systems has been stressed, in particular the ability of a free radical both to initiate and terminate reaction ...

Controlled radical polymerization is a means of manufacturing highly branched three-dimensional macromolecules known as hyperbranched polymers. It might employ inimers, compounds containing an ...

Traditional polyesters are obtained via ring-opening polymerization (ROP), but significant research is currently directed at designing new biodegradable vinyl polymers with esters groups in the ...
