Applying ARGET ATRP to the Growth of Polymer Brush Thin Films by Surface-initiated Polymerization

Copper(I)-mediated Living Radical Polymerization in the Presence of Pyridylmethanimine Ligands

We presents an article about Copper(I)-mediated Living Radical Polymerization in the Presence of Pyridylmethanimine Ligands, and the emergence of living radical polymerization mediated by transition metal catalysts in 1995, which was a seminal piece of work in the field of synthetic polymer chemistry.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
