Resumen

El confinamiento de los polímeros a películas delgadas reduce significativamente su resistencia a la deformación, incluso invirtiendo los comportamientos típicos de viscosidad. Este hallazgo tiene un impacto en la fabricación de nanoimpresiones y en el rendimiento de los lubricantes.

Cationic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Mechanism

The cationic polymerization mechanism consists of three steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. In the initiation step of the polymerization process, the π bond of a monomer gets protonated by the Lewis acid catalyst, which is formed from boron trifluoride and water. The protonation of the π bond generates a carbocation stabilized by the electron‐donating group. In the propagation step, the π bond of the second monomer acts as a nucleophile and attacks the generated carbocation,...
