Insight into the thermodynamics and kinetics of depolymerization to understand barriers that prevent effective monomer regeneration from vinyl polymers, an exploration overcoming these limitations.
The depolymerization of polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has recently garnered significant attention due to its potential for recovering monomer at low temperatures. However, current reports focus solely on polymethacrylates, significantly limiting applications, scope, and fundamental understanding. Although polymethacrylamides are highly valued their excellent biocompatibility, anti‐bacterial properties, water solubility, chemical recycling...

Size, shape, and charge are key parameters of nanoparticles, variations in these can significantly impact their properties applications. Among various nanoparticle synthesis methods, the combination low-energy miniemulsions with reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization allows for facile, rapid, environmentally friendly preparation uniform nanoparticles. However, this method cannot, yet, simultaneously control size, thereby limiting its potential Here we report...
Abstract In photo‐atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), dispersity can be efficiently controlled by varying the deactivator concentration. this work, we provide mechanistic insight into dispersity‐controlled photo‐ATRP conducting detailed kinetics under a range of conditions. For lower polymers, conventional first‐order kinetic profile was observed accompanied linear evolution number average molecular weight ( M n ) with conversion while reactions reached moderate to high conversions...
Airway stents are life-saving medical devices used to treat malignant or benign central airway stenoses. Unfortunately, these devices, typically manufactured from silicone alone and/or nitinol, can result in serious complications, such as stent migration, bacterial colonization, and tissue granulation, eventually forcing removal. Customized exhibit reduced migration they be tailored address other complications by releasing drugs, the antibiotic levofloxacin antifibrotic drug nintedanib....
