From Commodity Polymers to Functional Polymers
Functional polymers bear specified chemical groups, and have specified physical, chemical, biological, pharmacological, or other uses. To adjust the properties while keeping material usage low, a method for direct synthesis of functional polymers is indispensable. Here we show that various functional polymers can be synthesized by in situ cross-linked polymerization/copolymerization. We demonst...
متن کاملNew Functional Materials from Nanostructured Polymers
The dispersion of nanoscale particles or domains in a polymer matrix can provide nonlinear enhancement of the material properties and produce novel nanostructured materials with unique and controllable properties. Our group is currently examining systems that will provide an understanding of how manipulation and control of the structure of polymeric components can be utilized to efficiently and...
متن کاملJanus microgels produced from functional precursor polymers.
Micrometer-sized Janus particles of many kinds can be formed using droplet microfluidics, but in existing methods, the microfluidic templating is strongly coupled to the material synthesis, since droplet solidification occurs through rapid polymerization right after droplet formation. This circumstance limits independent control of the material properties and the morphology of the resultant par...
متن کاملBiosynthetic Polymers as Functional Materials
The synthesis of functional polymers encoded with biomolecules has been an extensive area of research for decades. As such, a diverse toolbox of polymerization techniques and bioconjugation methods has been developed. The greatest impact of this work has been in biomedicine and biotechnology, where fully synthetic and naturally derived biomolecules are used cooperatively. Despite significant im...
متن کاملNanoparticles from renewable polymers
The use of polymers from natural resources can bring many benefits for novel polymeric nanoparticle systems. Such polymers have a variety of beneficial properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility, they are readily available on large scale and at low cost. As the amount of fossil fuels decrease, their application becomes more interesting even if characterization is in many cases mor...
