Azide terminally functional poly(methyl methacrylate)s (Mn = 4000-6000, PDI = 1.21-1.28) have been prepared by living radical polymerization and successfully reacted with alkynes in a Huisgen cycloaddition (click) reaction in one pot using the same catalyst for both processes.

The hierarchical porous structures of vinyl polymers, such as polystyrene (PSt) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), were derived from morphologies of a biomineral through replication. The resultant PSt hierarchical structures showed enhanced adsorption properties of organic molecules as hydrophobic adsorbents in an aqueous medium.

We present the design and fabrication of a phenanthrenequinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) photopolymer material. Large blocks of samples were made, and the material showed negligible shrinkage after optical exposures. We recorded and reconstructed 250 holograms at a single spot, using a 1-cm(3) block.

A fluorene derivative having both bromo and formyl groups exhibited bright phosphorescence emission in common organic solvents at room temperature. The absolute phosphorescence quantum yield reached 5.9% in chloroform at 298 K. When the fluorene derivative was incorporated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) film, the phosphorescence emission was similarly observed even under air at room temperatu...

Utilization of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) increases in dental prosthetics. From single restorations and bridges, computer-aided engineering supports fabrication of partial and now complete removable dentures. Improved materials, like crosslinked poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and CAD/CAM technology permit realization of a superior quality denture in shorter ...

A photochromic diarylethene was found to crystallize rapidly from the amorphous state in poly(methyl methacrylate) by heating at 130 degrees C. The diarylethene amorphous film was successfully patterned to form microcrystals upon ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation through a photomask, showing a high resolution as good as approximately 4 microm under optimal conditions.

Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) was employed for the preparation of monodisperse cationic cylindrical nanoparticles with controllable sizes, which were subsequently explored their effect on antibacterial activity and mechanical properties nanocomposite hydrogels. Poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly[2-(tert-butylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PCL-b-PMMA-b-PTA...

Poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s (PPVs) with single reactive end groups have been prepared with high molecular weights, narrow polydispersities (ĐM) and excellent end functionality (f). PPVs functionalised with α-bromoester end groups are effective macroinitiators in the atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA).
