ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Alkali-soluble rheology modifiers are commercially synthesised via conventional freeradical polymerisation processes. This results in the end product having certain limitations; there is poor control ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Controlled free radical polymerisation techniques offer several practical and theoretical advantages compared to many other polymerisation techniques. Living polymerisation techniques such as anionic ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The general objective of this research was to develop a new approach to direct templating, where the organised phases of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes are used as hosts for organic polymerisation ...
