Abstract: Poly(e-caprolactone) is a semi-crystalline biocompatible polymer with good mechanical properties. Its crystallinity also uniquely enables poly(e-caprolactone) to be used in different applications, from the development of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering to advanced nanoparticle design.… read more here.

Abstract: Post-polymerisation modification of commodity hydrocarbon-based polymers provides access to functional polymers not readily available through bottom-up synthesis methods. Here, we demonstrate the oxyfunctionalisation of different styrenic and rubbery (co-)polymers using a well-established and robust manganese-based… read more here.
