Controlled Synthesis of Lipoate Homopolymers via Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization.

Polylipoates (PLp), derived from α-lipoic acid, are promising polymers for developing biocompatible, stimuli-responsive, and fully (closed-loop) recyclable materials. However, their synthesis is hindered by two key challenges: the high propensity of…
