Sumerlin Group publishes paper in Chem achieving unprecedented molecular weights for well-defined polymers

“In a recent paper in�Chem�(Cell Press), the Sumerlin Research Group reports a new polymerization strategy that leads to the highest molecular weight polymers ever prepared by a controlled radical polymerization (CRP) method. Developments in CRP have revolutionized polymer chemistry over the last two decades, allowing access to polymers with well-defined and predictable molecular weights, narrow … Read more
