The development of light-mediated controlled radical polymerization has benefited from the discovery of novel photocatalysts, which could allow a precise light control over the polymerization process and the production of...
Precise control over molecular variables of grafted polymer brushes is of crucial importance for obtaining polymer nanocomposites with desirable architectures and physicochemical properties, yet it remains a significant synthetic challenge.
A well-defined organocobalt salen complex (salen)Co–CO2CH3 is used as a versatile photoinitiator for visible light-initiated living radical polymerization.
Photoinduced organocatalyzed atom-transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP) is a controlled radical polymerization technique that can be driven using low-energy, visible light and makes use of organic photocatalysts. Limitations of O-ATRP have...
