In this respect, the radical polymerization of exo-methylene heterocyclic compounds (MHCs) is attractive. Compared to the classical acyclic vinyl monomers constrained to the vinyl-type polymerization process, MHCs can undergo different polymerization modes, namely the radical ring-retaining polymerization (rRRP) and the radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP). In rRRP, the cyclic group is preserved and inserted as side group of the polymer backbone offering a myriad of post-polymerization modifications whereas functional groups are incorporated within the backbone of linear polymers and confer them some degradability in rROP. Herein, recent advances in the radical polymerization of MHCs as well as the variety of macromolecular structures and applications it offers are highlighted. The reversible deactivation radical polymerization of MHCs leading to well-defined MHC-based macromolecular architectures, including multifunctional, stimuli-responsive and degradable polymers, is also discussed. The review emphasizes the current limitations of the radical polymerization of MHCs as well as future prospects including the development of innovative bio-based MHCs. Overall, the radical polymerization of MCHs represents a powerful macromolecular engineering tool and a broad field of exploration for polymer chemists.

The polymerization in emulsions initiated through a thermal or redox approach can be safely conducted under ambient conditions without using other hazardous chemicals. Thermal initiators decompose efficiently at the surfactant-stabilized oil–water interfaces at room temperature. The interface-induced initiation is found to be somewhat independent of surfactant type, insensitive to oxygen, and works for several thermal initiators. Redox initiators without transition metal compounds also effectively initiate room-temperature polymerization in emulsions. With the assistance of room temperature initiation, the polymers synthesized at room temperature are of high molecular mass. In addition, room-temperature polymerization allows temperature-sensitive molecules, for example, proteins and enzymes, to be incorporated with the polymers in situ. The applications of room-temperature polymerization in high internal phase emulsions and biomedicine are also discussed. The initiation of radicals from oil–water interfaces or transition metal-free redox systems is a promising eco-friendly method to promote radical reactions at room temperature.

For this reason, the long-term performance, or more precisely the crack growth behavior, is of great importance. Even though several studies investigated the fatigue behavior of rubber materials during the last 80 years, this topic is still widely under discussion and remains of great interest among scientists. Mars and Fatemi reviewed the developments of the field in the beginning of 2000, however, this paper considers the overall development including new findings to serve as a guide for further investigations in the field of fatigue of elastomers. For this purpose, the usual measurement methods and their evaluation, as well as the most important factors influencing the fatigue behavior, like the formulation of the rubber compound or the application and testing conditions, are explained in detail. Furthermore, an outlook is given on parameters that still need to be scientifically investigated, such as the influence of filler orientations or the selected manufacturing method, in order to fully understand fatigue crack growth.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"91 1","pages":"763 - 804"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80576026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating wearable electronic devices into clothing, accessories, electronic skin products, real-time monitoring and diagnosis of human movement and physiological conditions can be realized. In particular, electrospun micro/nanofibers (MNFs) have the benefits of good breathability, low cost and light weight, owing to their high specific surface area and flexible characteristics making them convenient for wearable devices. In this review, we summarized the existing technologies for synthesizing electrospun MNFs, and classified the materials for preparing wearable physical sensors. Besides the performance and functions of MNFs-based physical sensors; the structure, arrangement and post-treatment of electrospun MNFs have also been described in detail. The operating mechanisms of MNFs-based physical sensors mainly including piezoresistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, triboelectric, thermal-resistive and pyroelectric sensors were briefly discussed, and the typical wearable physical sensory applications based on electrospun MNFs were demonstrated as well.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"35 1","pages":"715 - 762"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75156698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
