Shaping up polyphosphazenes: star dendritic molecular brushes
In a new study, researchers from the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria, present for the first time a synthetic route to prepare polyphosphazenes with globular, highly branched morphologies (so called “star dendritic molecular brushes”) and controlled size.
First precise 9-arm 9-component star polymer
Precise synthesis of multi-armed and multi-component star-branched polymers was achieved using living anionic polymerization in a new iterative approach.
Modeling the degradation of star polymers
Researchers have developed a model for predicting the molecular weight distributions of star polymers undergoing mechanochemical degradation.
