Trithiocarbonate-based RAFT agent used as a bifunctional Chain Transfer Agent (CTA) in RAFT polymerization of block copolymers for drug delivery. Provides good control of polymerization of vinyl monomers, including styrene, methacrylate, and acrylamide.
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly used as nanocarriers for drug delivery, whereby their sizes can be altered for a more efficient delivery of therapeutic active agents with better efficacy. In this work, cross-linked copolymers acted as core-shell NPs from acrylated

In preparing polymer capsules by vesicle templated emulsion polymerization, the initial size and morphology of the biomimetic vesicle template dictate the final size and morphology of the capsules. The presence of salts (NaCl, NaBr and LiCl) influences the size, dispersity
