Articles

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is rapidly moving to the forefront in construction of drug and gene delivery vehicles.

The modification of biomacromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, through the attachment of synthetic polymers has led to a new family of highly advanced biomaterials with enhanced properties.

Micro review of reversible addition/fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.

Designing biomaterial scaffolds mimicking complex living tissue structures is crucial for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine advancements.

Protocols

We present an article about RAFT, or Reversible Addition/Fragmentation Chain Transfer, which is a form of living radical polymerization.

We presents an article featuring procedures that describe polymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate homopolymers and a block copolymer as performed by researchers at CSIRO.

Polymerization via ATRP procedures demonstrated by Prof. Dave Haddleton's research group at the University of Warwick.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
