New functional poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) based (co)polymers via photoinitiated cobalt-mediated radical polymerization.
The photoinitiated cobalt-mediated radical polymerization enables the synthesis of novel α-functional and α,ω-telechelic polymers. In combination with ring-opening polymerization, it also produces new amphiphilic copolymers which self-assemble into flower-like vesicles in water.
