Polymer synthesis via activated esters: A new dimension of creativity in macromolecular chemistry

摘要: The polymerization and chemistry of activated acrylates have been elaborated in recent years to provide a uniquely versatile method polymer synthesis. new is simple, generally applicable, ideally suitable for the synthesis specialty polymers interest emerging technologies chemistry, engineering, biotechnology medicine. This article discusses copolymerization by solution suspension techniques, reviews properties such as comonomer distribution, molecular weights, 13C-NMR spectra gel morphology. use copolymers variety polymers, including amphiphilic gels, graft copolymers, side chain reactive liquid crystalline outlined. Potential applications these are also highlighted, versatility active ester dimension creativity macromolecular emphasized.
