Organocatalysts were employed in LED-induced controlled radical polymerization, sequentially combined with ring-opening polymerization to obtain copolymers using one organocatalyst.
Silk fibroin films were modified with zwitterionic and hydrophilic brush-like polymers via surface-initiated ATRP, resulting in surfaces that reduced protein adsorption and cell attachment.
Fructose as a reducing agent for in situ generation of Cu(I) species via an electron-transfer reaction in copper-catalyzed living/controlled radical polymerization of styrene
