Chemistry of the Degradation of Vinyl Polymers to give Carbon Fibre Precursors
An investigation of the oxidative degradation of polyacrylonitrile, a precursor for carbon fibre manufacture, has been made by examining the oxidation of 'model* compounds of the polymer. During the attempted preparation of one of these 'models', 2,)-dicyanopentane, it became apparent that this …

DIFFUSION CONTROLLED VINYL POLYMERIZATION
… rate and the molecular weight distribution of vinyl polymers can change markedly during the course of polymerization and that these changes are due to the influence of self-diffusion upon the termination reaction. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the gel effect and in order to explain …

Design and Synthesis of Stimuli-Responsive Polymers with Programmable Cleavability
Polymers comprise a large portion of modern-day materials, from everyday plastics that we can hold and use, to nanomaterials imperceptible to the naked eye. Applying synthetic chemistry to impart structural changes to established polymers offers a promising path to introduce novel functionalities …
