ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The creation of nanometer-scale (nanoscale) materials has fascinated and inspired the scientific community for more than a quarter of a century because of the wide range of applications of these materials, ...

Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerization has emerged as a versatile method for preparing polymers with control over molecular weight and polydispersity. Inherent in its mechanism ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Novel poly(methacrylic acid)-graft-poly(dimethylsiloxane) copolymers were synthesised by conventional free radical reactions using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) macromonomer. The polymers were electrospun ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the amphiphilic block copolymer poly((vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(vinyl acetate)) (PVP-b-PVAc) as a vehicle for hydrophobic anti-cancer ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the modern, fast moving society of today, there is a strong focus in research placed on the elimination of lengthy invasive medical procedures. Target specific, and chemo selective treatments are of ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The combination of natural and synthetic polymers allow for the synthesis of advanced hybrid copolymers. These hybrid copolymers have applications in biomedical areas, one such area being in drug delivery ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Hierarchical information transfer is investigated as a tool to prepare well‐defined nanostructures with high aspect ratios, via the self‐assembly of helically folding poly(paraaryltriazole) (P(p‐AT)) ...
