This review covers fundamental kinetic features of living radical polymerization (LRP).
Theories on polymerization rate R p and polydispersity index (PDI) and experimental …

Surface modifications by polymers are becoming increasingly important for various
applications ranging from biotechnology to advanced microelectronics. Recent successful …

Monodisperse silica particles (SiPs) of diameter between 100 and 1500 nm were surface-modified
in a mixture of ethanol/water/ammonia with a newly designed triethoxysilane having …

Investigations into the kinetics and mechanism of dithiobenzoate‐mediated Reversible
Addition–Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerizations, which exhibit nonideal kinetic …

We discuss data mining based on association rules for two numeric attributes and one
Boolean attribute. For example, in a database of bank customers, "Age" and "Balance" are two …

The bulk polymerizations of styrene and methyl methacrylate in the presence of model
polymer−dithiocarbonate adducts as mediators and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as a conventional …

The mechanism and kinetics of RAFT-mediated graft polymerization of styrene initiated on a
silica particle were studied, where RAFT is the reversible addition−fragmentation chain …

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) brushes with the same chain length but different graft
densities were prepared on a silicon substrate by the surface-initiated atom transfer radical …

Background: In atopic dermatitis (AD) there is evidence of tissue fibrosis involving a number
of structural changes, including papillary dermal fibrosis and epidermal hyperplasia. These …
