Advanced Polymer Synthesis and Characterization

Advanced Polymer Synthesis and Characterization is a research topic within Organic Chemistry. Science Explorer counts 44k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the advances in living radical polymerization techniques, including atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT), and nitroxide-mediated polymerization. It also explores the application of click chemistry, self-assembly of block copolymers, and the synthesis of functional polymers such as vesicles and micelles.
