One-pot synthesis of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)/polystyrene alloy with CuCl₂/4-dimethylaminopyridine as a versatile catalyst in water

ICAR ATRP of Acrylonitrile under Ambient and High Pressure

“…Especially atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], as one of the most efficient and robust reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) methods, has developed various ATRP techniques to improve synthetic methods of polymers. These techniques include reverse ATRP [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization (ICAR ATRP) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] which apply traditional radical initiators and the higher oxidation state of the transition metal complex (the proposed mechanism shown in Scheme 1 ), activators generated by electron transfer ATRP (AGET ATRP) [ 19 , 20 , 21 ] which use reducing agents to replacing traditional radical initiators, e-ATRP [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] which employs the electrochemical method, photoinduced organic catalyzed metal-free ATRP [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], and the very recently developed metal-free photoinduced electron transfer–atom transfer radical polymerization (PET–ATRP) [ 30 ].…”

Immobilized Horseradish Peroxidase (I-HRP) as Biocatalyst for Oxidative Polymerization of 2,6-Dimethylphenol

“…PPO is an important engineering thermoplastic material with outstanding characteristics such as high melting point and good toughness over a wide temperature range and also with self-extinguishing and electrically insulating properties . Many researchers have developed novel catalysts for PPO synthesis via oxidative polymerization. − The use of natural enzymes as catalysts is highly desirable and provides a green methodology for PPO synthesis. − …”
