The ‘New Methods of Polymer Synthesis’ themed issue was published last week. Guest editors Christopher Barner-Kowollik, Jean-François Lutz and Sébastien Perrier introduce the issue in their Editorial.
The front covers showcase work by Masami Kamigaito and co-workers (From-syndiotactic-to-isotactic stereogradient methacrylic polymers by RAFT copolymerization of methacrylic acid and its bulky esters) and Brent Sumerlin and co-workers (Modular oxime functionalization of well-defined alkoxyamine-containing polymers)
The issue also includes the following Review and Mini-Review articles:
