Functional and Responsive Polymers via Controlled Radical Polymerization

Jian Wang

This Thesis is built around 4 topics, which share in common that they all take advantage of the assets of controlled radical polymerization to either (i) prepare well-defined model systems to address fundamental research questions with regard to the sensit ...

Triazene-Activated Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes: Ring-Opening and (3 + 2) Annulation Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Zhaowen Dong, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

Donor–acceptor cyclopropanes substituted with 3,3-dialkyltriazenyl groups are described herein. The strong electron-donating character of the triazene renders the cyclopropanes highly reactive, allowing for catalyst-free ring-opening reactions with methano ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Functionalization of Olefins and Alkynes: From Oxyalkynylation to Tethered Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations (DYKAT)

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Mikus Purins, Ugo Jonathan Orcel, Luca Buzzetti, Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood

This review presents an account of the palladium-catalyzed functionalizations of alkenes and alkynes developed at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO). Starting from the intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of alkenes, tethered met ...

Hard Phase Crystallization Directs the Phase Segregation of Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Polymers

Emad Oveisi

A growing body of work shows that the phase behavior of supramolecular polymers assembled from telechelic building blocks featuring binding motifs at the two termini is quite similar to that of conventional block copolymers. However, it remains unclear how ...

Sustainable, Reshapable Surfactant-Polyelectrolyte Plastics Employing Water as a Plasticizer

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Zhangjun Huang, Haiyan Jia

Natural polymers such as those present in foods contain abundant noncovalent intra- and intermolecular interactions, notably hydrogen bonds, which make them rigid when dry, but on exposure to water soften, due to disruption of these interactions. This soft ...

Synthesis of Loop Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Brushes via Chain-End Postpolymerization Modification

Harm-Anton Klok, Piotr Mocny

Polymer brushes are typically densely grafted assemblies of polymer chains that are tethered via one end group to a solid substrate. Anchoring linear polymer chains via both end groups to a surface results in loop-type polymer brushes. Although loop polyme ...

Controlling topology, dynamics and function of polymer brushes via post-polymerization modification

Piotr Mocny

Polymer brushes are a class of thin coatings, where each of chains is tethered to the underlying substrate via one chain end. Densely grafted polymer brushes feature a stretched chain conformation, which in a unique way enhances their lubrication and non-b ...

Nickel-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroalkylation and Hydroarylation of Alkenyl Boronic Esters

Xile Hu, Srikrishna Bera

Metal hydride catalyzed hydrocarbonation reactions of alkenes are an efficient approach to construct new carbon-carbon bonds from readily available alkenes. However, the regioselectivity of hydrocarbonation remains challenging to be controlled. In nickel h ...

Topology of Pretreated Wood Fibers Using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

David Lyndon Emsley, Jeremy Luterbacher, Pierrick Berruyer, Arthur César Pinon, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Wu Lan

In the continuously developing field of lignocellulosic biomass, high-yield lignin depolymerization processes are sought to optimize its productivity and profitability. Recently, formaldehyde stabilization during lignin extraction and biomass pretreatment ...

Synthesis and Postpolymerization Modification of Fluorine-End-Labeled Poly(Pentafluorophenyl Methacrylate) Obtained via RAFT Polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Claudia Battistella

Chain-end-labeled polymers are interesting for a range of applications. In polymer nanomedicine, chain-end-labeled polymers are useful to study and help understand cellular internalization and intracellular trafficking processes. The recent advent of fluor ...

An Acid Test: Facile SI-ARGET-ATRP of Methacrylic Acid

Harm-Anton Klok, Piotr Mocny

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methacrylic acid (MAA) is challenging. Herein is reported a study of conditions for facile surface-initiated ATRP by activator regenerated electron transfer (SI-ARGET-ATRP) growth of poly-methacrylic acid (PMA ...

Hybrid laser 3D microprocessing in glass/polymer micromechanical sensor: towards chemical sensing applications

Yves Bellouard

We demonstrate the fabrication of a 3D polymer/glass micromechanical sensor by combining two femtosecond laser direct writing processes: subtractive laser-assisted chemical etching combined with additive two-photon polymerization techniques. In the first s ...
