Synthesis and characterization of polylactide–poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymer by combining of ROP and AGET ATRP

Modification of epoxidized natural rubber as a PLA toughening agent

“…The first step was initiated at approximately 250–260 °C, and the second step degradation was at approximately 350 °C. The first step of degradation belonged to chain breaking of the PLA segment and the second step belonged to the breaking of the ENR main chains . These results supported grafting of PLA on ENR‐OH.…”

Synthesis and application of epoxy resins: A review

“…The toughness of epoxy resins can be improved by dispersion of thermoplastic components, such as poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) (ABS), poly(ether sulfones) (PES), poly(ether imides) (PEI), polysulfones (PSF), poly(ether ketone) (PEK), and polyimides (PI), into the epoxy matrix [92][93][94][95]. Thermoplasticmodified epoxy systems are usually prepared by polymerizationinduced phase separation of the thermoplastic modifier, which is initially miscible in the epoxy resin but separates into phases during polymerization.…”

Methods of controlled radical polymerization for the synthesis of polymer brushes

“…However, such proce dures are successfully used in the methodology of heterophase ATRP; that is, when polymerization is conducted in a miniemulsion [77,78]. Note that the modifications of ATRP based on the use of electron transfer to regenerate the activator have an impor tant advantage because initiators introduced into the system cannot initiate polymerization by them selves; therefore, they are suitable for the synthesis of linear block copolymers [89,90] and copolymers with complex architectures, such as polymer brushes [91], and for controlled synthesis in organic media and heterogeneous systems, e.g., in miniemulsions [91][92][93][94].…”
