Effect of Pendant Pyrene Groups on the Topology and Thermal Properties of Poly(Trimethylene Carbonate)

ABSTRACT Planar aromatic side chains offer a promising strategy for regulating polymer topology and segmental dynamics. Here, a pyrene‐substituted trimethylene carbonate (TMCM‐Py) was synthesized and polymerized by DBU‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization using benzyl alcohol as...

A Digitally Controlled Flow–Batch Platform for Reproducible Radical Copolymerization with Reduced Composition Drift

Abstract Free-radical copolymerization is widely used industrially, but scale transfer can alter polymer properties through changes in mixing and heat transfer. We developed a digitally controlled flow–batch platform integrating a micromixer, heated tubular reactor, and batch rea...
