Polymer Chemistry

Thermo-responsive graphene oxide nanocomposites were fabricated by a facile, efficient and versatile methodviacombination of mussel inspired chemistry and RAFT polymerization.

Surface modification of carbon nanotubes by the combination of mussel inspired chemistry and SET-LRP has been reported for the first time.

Graphene oxide was facilely functionalized with synthetic polymers in aqueous solution using dopamine as the adhesion component.

Benzothiadiazole-functionalized dinuclear platinum(ii) acetylide bolaamphiphiles have been demonstrated to form nanoparticles in protic solvents, serving as novel fluorescent labels for bio-imaging applications with good biocompatibility and sufficient stability.

We have successfully developed an efficient and regioselective direct arylation polycondensation of thiophenes using Pd/C heterogeneous catalysts.
