We present the “two-step in one pot” copolymerization of NsMAz with epoxides and PA to obtain telechelic block copolymer L-PPI-b-Poly(PO-alt-PA) after desulfonation.
Epoxides can be directly transformed into linear poly(hydroxyl thioether)s by cascade O–S ER/AAROP in water and open system under mild conditions.
Statistical copolymers of linear glycerol (linG) and ethyl glycidyl ether (EGE) show tunable thermoresponsive behavior. The cloud point of the highly biocompatible copolymers is tailored by polymer composition and concentration.
Polyethers and polythioethers are often made through the polymerization of epoxides and thiiranes, respectively, using Earth-abundant metal compounds. Control over polymer properties is dictated by the method used to synthesize them, which are outlined in this article.
Water-soluble and biodegradable polyphosphoester polymer bottlebrush copolymers and amphiphilic assemblies prepared by a combination of anionic ring-opening and metathesis polymerization.
