Mountaki S, Whitfield R, Anastasaki A
Macromol Rapid Commun . 2025 Feb; :e2401067. PMID: 39985425
Although the chemical recycling of polymers synthesized by controlled radical polymerization enables the recovery of pristine monomer at low temperatures, it operates efficiently under strictly anaerobic conditions. Instead, oxygen-tolerant depolymerizations...

Mantzara D, Whitfield R, Wang H, Truong N, Anastasaki A
ACS Macro Lett . 2025 Feb; :235-240. PMID: 39927986
Although thermal solution RAFT depolymerization has recently emerged as an efficient chemical recycling methodology, current approaches require specialized solvents (i.e., dioxane), typically suffer from extended reaction times, and operate exclusively...

Marathianos A, Magiakos A, Han Y, Sanchez A, Whitfield R, Kammerer J, et al.
J Am Chem Soc . 2024 Dec; 146(50):34292-34297. PMID: 39631373
Polymer design requires fine control over syntheses and a thorough understanding of their macromolecular structure. Herein, near-atomic level imaging of polymers is achieved, enabling the precise determination of one of...

Mountaki S, Whitfield R, Liarou E, Truong N, Anastasaki A
J Am Chem Soc . 2024 Jul; 146(28):18848-18854. PMID: 38958656
While oxygen-tolerant strategies have been overwhelmingly developed for controlled radical polymerizations, the low radical concentrations typically required for high monomer recovery render oxygen-tolerant solution depolymerizations particularly challenging. Here, an open-air...

De Alwis Watuthanthrige N, Whitfield R, Harrisson S, Truong N, Anastasaki A
ACS Macro Lett . 2024 Jun; 13(7):806-811. PMID: 38857492
Thermal solution depolymerization is a promising low-temperature chemical recycling strategy enabling high monomer recovery from polymers made by controlled radical polymerization. However, current methodologies predominantly focus on the depolymerization of...

Raji I, Dodo O, Saha N, Eisenhart M, Miller K, Whitfield R, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2024 Mar; 63(21):e202315200. PMID: 38546541
Dispersity (Ð or M/M) is an important parameter in material design and as such can significantly impact the properties of polymers. Here, polymer networks with independent control over the molecular...

Mountaki S, Whitfield R, Parkatzidis K, Antonopoulou M, Truong N, Anastasaki A
RSC Appl Polym . 2024 Mar; 2(2):275-283. PMID: 38525379
Chemical recycling of polymers is one of the biggest challenges in materials science. Recently, remarkable achievements have been made by utilizing polymers prepared by controlled radical polymerization to trigger low-temperature...

Shimizu T, Whitfield R, Jones G, Raji I, Konkolewicz D, Truong N, et al.
Chem Sci . 2023 Nov; 14(46):13419-13428. PMID: 38033899
Although dispersity has been demonstrated to be instrumental in determining many polymer properties, current synthetic strategies predominantly focus on tailoring the dispersity of linear polymers. In contrast, controlling the primary...

Whitfield R, Jones G, Truong N, Manring L, Anastasaki A
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2023 Jul; 62(38):e202309116. PMID: 37523176
Although controlled radical polymerization is an excellent tool to make precision polymeric materials, reversal of the process to retrieve the starting monomer is far less explored despite the significance of...
