… , led the lead author to Kennedy's laboratory at The University of Akron where such polymers
were already synthesized [27]. Kennedy's patents protecting the triblock copolymer SIBS …

The emerging field of amphiphilic conetworks (APCNs) is critically reviewed. A definition of
APCNs is proposed and discussed in depth. The field of APCN science, born in 1988, is …

An exhaustive in-depth review of the biochemical literature concerning the biosynthesis of
polyisoprenes, including natural rubber (NR, cis-1,4-polyisoprene cPIP) by rubber-producing …

Mono‐ and di‐ended linear and three‐arm star allyl‐telechelic polyisobutylenes, PIBA, APIBA
and (where A = CH 2 CHCH 2 ) have been prepared by a rapid economical one‐…

A new telechelic polyisobutylene diol, HOCH 2 PIBCH 2 OH, carrying two terminal
primary hydroxyl end groups has been prepared from α,ω‐di(isobutenyl)polyisobutylene, CH 2 …

Increased insight into the mechanism of carbocationic copolymerization has been achieved
by classifying and reviewing in detail 334 monomer pairs in terms of the extended Kelen-…

Polyisobutylenes carrying one or two terminal isopropenyl unsaturations have been obtained
by complete dehydrochlorination of α-tert. -butyl-ω-tert. chloropolyisobutylene and α, ω-di(…

Detailed understanding of the mechanism of initiation and chain transfer in BCl 3 ‐coinitiated
isobutylene polymerization led to the efficient synthesis of symmetric telechelic …

The tortuous road to living carbocationic polymerizations is chronicled. The impetus for this
project was my conviction that, just as living anionic polymerizations have started with a …

A thorough examination of some cationic copolymerization systems by a new method has
shown that many published r values have to be corrected significantly and that some are …
