By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved the living polymerization of polymers with aligned helical structures. In ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with a chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvents.

triblock copolymers has been accomplished by a site transformation technique from living cationic to living anionic polymerization. This method involved the preparation of DPE end-functionalized PIB, ...

such as reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer or free radical polymerization, by introducing highly biocompatible ...
