“…Merging step growth processes and RDRP techniques − is particularly appealing to develop advanced polymer materials as it affords the production of a number of interesting BCPs with vinylic and polycondensate segments (e.g., polystyrenes, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polyvinylesters vs polyesters, polysulfones, polyurethane, polyethers, and others) for diverse purposes, i.e., surface patterning or toughening brittle highly cross-linked polymers as pioneered by Bates in the late 90s . This last topic has been the subject of much research, ,,− due to the variety of nanostructures that can be built and of mechanical behaviors that can be encountered. Different macromolecular architectures have been used as additives for epoxy resins in order to form nanoscale dispersed structures, such as spherical micelles, worm-like micelles, vesicles, or octopus-like nanostructures in epoxy matrix. , The nanostructural heterogeneities were considered to determine the physical properties of epoxy thermosets, which were continually used in a variety of applications such as coatings, adhesives, and structural composites .…”
