Abstract

Correction for ‘Polymerization-induced self-assembly via RAFT in emulsion: effect of Z-group on the nucleation step’ by Thiago R. Guimarães et al., Polym. Chem., 2021, 12, 122–133, DOI: 10.1039/D0PY01311K.


The authors would like to clarify that the macroRAFTs reported in ref. 23 and discussed in the manuscript introduction were synthesized using either dioxane or water depending on the RAFT agent used, while the macroRAFT from ref. 24 was synthesized in water, and therefore they were the first examples of preparation of a macroRAFT in water, rather than the macroRAFT reported in ref. 25, as stated in the manuscript.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
